PER CURIAM:
David Dean Buzzard, Jr., petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district
court has unduly delayed in ruling on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. 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 deny the mandamus petition. We
grant in part Buzzard’s motion to seal with respect to the motion to seal itself and deny in
part the motion with respect to the remainder of the appellate record. 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
