William H. Evans, Jr., Petitioner Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

          William    H.   Evans,   Jr.,   petitions   for   a   writ   of

mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in

ruling on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition.             He seeks an

order from this court directing the district court to act.             We

find 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
