PER CURIAM: David Hill petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on several postjudgment motions filed in Hill’s 28 U.S.C. § 2255 proceeding. See United States v. Hill, No. 1:01-cr-00191-CMH-1 (E.D. Va., PACER Nos. 464-69). Hill seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act.

However, upon review, the present record does not reveal undue delay in the district court, especially since, in the interim period, Hill has noted several appeals from other district court orders. 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

∗ While we deny mandamus relief at this juncture, we encourage the district court to act as expeditiously as possible in this matter.
