USCA4 Appeal: 25-2341 Doc: 13 Filed: 12/31/2025 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Anthony Silva, a federal inmate, petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 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 as the court only recently received Respondent’s response in opposition to the § 2241 petition. Thus, because review of the district court’s docket reveals no undue delay and that the district court recently took significant action on Silva’s § 2241 petition, 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
