PER CURIAM:
Henry Shell petitions for a writ of mandamus, claiming 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. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals
that the district court recently took significant action on Shell’s § 2241 petition.
Accordingly, we deny the mandamus petition and deny Shell’s motion to appoint counsel.
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
