PER CURIAM:
Michael Paul Puzey 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 find the present record does
not reveal undue delay in the district court. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in
forma pauperis and deny Puzey’s mandamus petition and his motion to expedite. 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
