    In re David SKUNDOR, Petitioner.
    No. 02-7381.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted Oct. 2, 2002.
    Decided Oct. 16, 2002.
    David Skundor, Petitioner Pro Se.
    Before WIDENER, WILLIAMS, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.
    Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
   PER CURIAM.

David Skundor has filed a petition for a writ of mandamus, asking this court to direct the district court to rule on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action based on undue delay. Although we find that mandamus relief is not warranted because the delay is not unreasonable, we deny Skundor’s petition for a writ of mandamus without prejudice to his ability to file a new petition for mandamus relief if the district court does not act expeditiously. We grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis. 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.
