On September 21, 2001, Robert Martin Barritt filed a petition for a writ of mandamus requesting this court to direct the district court to enter a ruling in his petition under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2001), filed in the district court on March 1, 2001. Barritt filed a document titled Motion for Discharge for Failure to Process on June 4, 2001, and the district court referred this motion to a magistrate judge the day it was received. Because there has been no undue delay in acting on Barritt’s habeas petition, mandamus relief *318 is not warranted. Accordingly, we deny the petition for a writ of mandamus.

We further deny Barritt’s related motions for en banc consideration, a hearing, to admit evidence, for designation of record, and for reconsideration of the assessment of a filing fee under the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 42 U.S.C.A. § 1915 (West Supp. 2001). 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.
