PER CURIAM:

Jason T. Scott petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging 

that the district court has unduly delayed 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, we grant 

leave to proceed in forma pauperis, deny Scott’s motion for 

injunctive relief pending appeal, 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
