PER CURIAM:

Timothy Walker petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court
has unduly delayed in ruling on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2018) petition. He seeks an order
from this court directing the district court to act. 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. To the extent Walker specifically seeks an order
from this court directing the district court to order the Government to respond to his
petition, we deny that request.
*
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

The Government’s response to Walker’s petition was filed on January 24, 2020.
