UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 17-1457 In re: ROBERTO ANTOINE DARDEN, a/k/a Dizz-e, a/k/a Javon, Petitioner. On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (4:11-cr-00052-AWA-LRL-1) Submitted: June 20, 2017 Before SHEDD, WYNN, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Roberto Antoine Darden, Petitioner Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. Decided: June 22, 2017 PER CURIAM: Roberto Antoine Darden petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court has unduly delayed in ruling on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion. He seeks an order from this court directing the district court to act. We find the present record does not reveal undue delay in the district court. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. 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 2
