¶1 Rodney H. Williams petitions for writ of mandamus alleging the district court has unduly delayed acting on motions filed in his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) case. Williams seeks an order from this court directing the court to act. Although we find mandamus relief is not warranted because the district court has recently taken significant action in the case, we deny the mandamus petition without prejudice. 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.
