    In re: Christopher Lee NEAL, Petitioner.
    No. 09-1365.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: July 21, 2009.
    Decided: Aug. 5, 2009.
    Christopher Lee Neal, Petitioner Pro Se.
    Before MICHAEL, MOTZ, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Christopher Lee Neal petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on his habeas petition. He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. We find there has been no undue delay in the district court. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in for-ma pauperis, we deny as moot the motion to expedite and deny the mandamus petition. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED.
