PER CURIAM: 

Francisco Villarreal 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, we grant leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis and deny the petition and the supplemental petition for 

a 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
