a/k/a Derrick Baxter, a/k/a Marcus Allen, a/k/a Martin Wilson, a/k/a Marcus

Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (1:93-cr-00460-CMH-1)
Submitted: October 17, 2019 Decided: October 21, 2019
Before MOTZ and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit
Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
James K. Burks, Jr., Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
James K. Burks, Jr., petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court
has unduly delayed in ruling on his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) 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, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis
and 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
