PER CURIAM:
Hafan Antonio Riley petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging that the district court
has unduly delayed in ruling on his motions for compassionate release. He seeks an order
from this court directing the district court to act. The present record does not reveal undue
delay in the district court. Accordingly, we 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
*
To the extent that Riley asks this court to grant him compassionate release, we
deny this request because Riley has “other adequate means to attain the relief [he] desires.”
