Gerald L. Cashwell petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his motion for reconsideration filed August 30, 2002. He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. We find there has been no undue delay in the district court. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny the petition. 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.
