PER CURIAM:
Mitchell Danyell Banks petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district
court has unduly delayed in ruling on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion, which Banks filed in
March 2025. Banks asks this court to enforce the district court’s compliance with the
statutory time limits contained in 28 U.S.C. § 2266.
Review of the district court’s docket reveals that Banks filed a reply to the
Government’s response to his § 2255 motion in July 2025. Thus, to the extent that Banks
asks us to order the district court to decide the § 2255 motion, the present record reveals
no undue delay in Banks’ habeas proceeding.
We therefore 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
