PER CURIAM:
Rodney W. Whitney 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. We conclude that the
present record does not reveal undue delay in the district
court. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis
and 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
