PER CURIAM:
Richard Alen Smith, Jr. petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his “application for a certificate of appealability.” He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. We find there has been no undue delay in the *166district court. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny the mandamus petition. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED.
