PER CURIAM:
Derric Blanchard 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. The present record does not reveal undue delay in
the district court. 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
