PER CURIAM:
James D. Pridgen petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court
has unduly delayed in ruling on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. He seeks an order from this
court directing the district court to act. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals
that the district court recently took significant action on Pridgen’s petition. Accordingly,
we deny the mandamus petition. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
