PER CURIAM: 

Rodney W. Whitney 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. 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 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
