PER CURIAM: Malcom A. Jordan petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed ruling on his amended 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. Because there has been significant recent progress in the district court, the present record does not reveal undue delay. Accordingly, we deny the mandamus 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
