Although it appears from the materials before the court that the district court has not yet disposed of Davis's motion to alter or amend the May 2006 judgment, the district court has subsequently resolved two other pro se motions Davis filed in the same action. Because there has been recent activity in this case, we find there has been no undue delay in the district court. Accordingly,
