        PER CURIAM:

               Clifton William Batts petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district

        court has unduly delayed in ruling on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition. He seeks an order

        from this court directing the district court to act. The present record does not reveal undue

        delay in the district court. 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

                                                     2
