PER CURIAM:

Benjamin Wright petitions for a writ of mandamus, seeking an 

order from this court directing the district court to act on his 

28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition. To the extent Wright alleges 

undue delay in the district court, we conclude that the present 

record does not reveal such delay because the district court is 

holding Wright’s § 2241 petition in abeyance pending an en banc 

decision from our court and has notified Wright of its intention 

to rule on his § 2241 petition once the relevant en banc decision 

issues. In any event, we conclude that, on the present record, 

Wright fails to demonstrate a clear right to the relief sought. 

In re First Fed. Sav. & Loan Ass’n, 860 F.2d 135, 138 (4th Cir. 

1988). Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 

deny Wright’s motion for bail, 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
