PER CURIAM:

Larry Felentise Rambert petitions for a writ of mandamus, 

alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on 

various pending cases. He seeks an order from this court 

directing the district court and state court to act. We find 

the present record does not reveal undue delay in the district 

court. In addition, we do not have jurisdiction to grant 

mandamus relief against state officials. Accordingly, we grant 

leave to proceed in forma pauperis 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
