USCA4 Appeal: 24-1182      Doc: 10         Filed: 04/22/2024     Pg: 2 of 2

        PER CURIAM:

               David Hill petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has

        unduly delayed in ruling on several postjudgment motions filed in Hill’s 28 U.S.C. § 2255

        proceeding. See United States v. Hill, No. 1:01-cr-00191-CMH-1 (E.D. Va., PACER

        Nos. 464-69). Hill seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act.

        However, upon review, the present record does not reveal undue delay in the district court,

        especially since, in the interim period, Hill has noted several appeals from other district

        court orders. Accordingly, we 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

               ∗
                  While we deny mandamus relief at this juncture, we encourage the district court
        to act as expeditiously as possible in this matter.

                                                    2
