UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 12-2258

In re: MICHAEL MATTHEW MONZEL,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (No. 5:12-hc-02166-F)

Submitted: November 20, 2012 Decided: November 26, 2012

Before TRAXLER, Chief Judge, and SHEDD and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Michael Matthew Monzel, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Michael Matthew Monzel petitions for a writ of

mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in

ruling on his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. 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 the mandamus 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
