UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 16-1709

In re: FRANCISCO VILLARREAL, Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus (1:15-cv-11467)

Submitted: August 25, 2016 Decided: August 29, 2016

Before NIEMEYER, DIAZ, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Francisco Villarreal, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Francisco Villarreal petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition. He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. We conclude that the present record does not reveal undue delay in the district court. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and deny the petition and the supplemental petition for a writ of mandamus. 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
