PER CURIAM:

Michael Hardy 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. In light of the district 

court’s recent action directing an evidentiary hearing on 

Hardy’s § 2255 motion, we find no undue delay. Accordingly, 

although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we 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
