PER CURIAM:
Vivek Shah petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that
the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on his 28 U.S.C.
§ 2255 (2012) motion. He seeks an order from this court
directing the district court to act. We conclude that the
present record does not reveal undue delay in the district
court. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma
pauperis, we deny the mandamus petition. We grant Shah’s motion
to withdraw his amended 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
