UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 16-2171

In re: VIVEK SHAH,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (No. 5:15-cv-07542)

Submitted: February 16, 2017 Decided: February 21, 2017

Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, DUNCAN, Circuit Judge, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Vivek Shah, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Vivek Shah petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that

the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on his

(2012) motion. 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, although we grant leave to proceed in forma

pauperis, we deny the mandamus petition. We grant Shah’s motion

to withdraw his amended petition. 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
