PER CURIAM:

Jovica Petrovic petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging 

that the district court has unduly delayed acting on his

complaint filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents 

of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). 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 Petrovic leave to proceed 

in forma pauperis and deny the 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
