PER CURIAM:

Alexander Matthews 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 after remand. 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 

pauperism, deny Matthews’ motion for recusal and judicial 

notice, 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
