PER CURIAM:
Curtis Richardson 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 find the present record does not reveal
undue delay in the district court. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma
pauperis, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. 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
