PER CURIAM:

Brian M. Burmaster 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 conclude 

that 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 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
