        PER CURIAM:

               Henry Shell petitions for a writ of mandamus, claiming that the district court has

        unduly delayed in ruling on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. He seeks an order from this

        court directing the district court to act. Our review of the district court’s docket reveals

        that the district court recently took significant action on Shell’s § 2241 petition.

        Accordingly, we deny the mandamus petition and deny Shell’s motion to appoint counsel.

        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

                                                     2
