PER CURIAM:
Rashawn Lamar Dawkins petitions for a writ of
mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting
on his motion for reconsideration. He seeks an order from this
court directing the district court to act. Although we find
that mandamus relief is not warranted because the delay is not
unreasonable, we deny the mandamus petition without prejudice to
the filing of another mandamus petition if the district court
does not act expeditiously. We grant leave to proceed in forma
pauperis. 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
