Jovica Petrovic, Petitioner Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       Jovica Petrovic petitions for a writ of mandamus, alleging

that   the   district    court    has   unduly   delayed        acting   on   his

complaint filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents

of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 

(1971).                  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 Petrovic leave to proceed

in forma pauperis and deny the 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
