PER CURIAM:
Anthony Silva, a federal inmate, 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 as the court only recently received Respondent’s response
in opposition to the § 2241 petition. Thus, because review of the district court’s docket
reveals no undue delay and that the district court recently took significant action on Silva’s
§ 2241 petition, 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
