PER CURIAM:
Michael Hardy petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging
that the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on his 28
U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion. He seeks an order from this court
directing the district court to act. In light of the district
court’s recent action directing an evidentiary hearing on
Hardy’s § 2255 motion, we find no undue delay. Accordingly,
although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 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
