PER CURIAM:

Suresh H. Small petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has

unduly delayed in ruling on his

petition. He seeks an order from this

court directing the district court to act. The present record does not reveal undue delay in

the district court. See Small v. Holzapfel, No. 5:23-cv-00658 (S.D. W. Va filed Oct. 5,

2023). 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
