HLD-5 (October 2006) NOT PRECEDENTIAL UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT NO. 06-4190 ___________________________________ IN RE: CESAR CARMONA Petitioner

On a Petition for Writ of Mandamus from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania (Related to M.D. Pa. Civ. No. 05-cv-00022) ______________________________________________ Submitted Under Rule 21, Fed. R. App. P. October 13,2006

Before: CHIEF JUDGE SCIRICA, WEIS and GARTH, CIRCUIT JUDGES (Filed: November 16, 2006 ) ______________________________________

OPINION ________________________________________ PER CURIAM Pro se petitioner Cesar Carmona seeks a writ of mandamus to compel the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania to reach an immediate decision on his petition for a writ of habeas corpus.

Carmona filed his petition for a writ of habeas corpus on January 5,2005. On March 17,2005, the Respondent filed his answer to Carmona's habeas petition. Carmona then filed a traverse on March 29,2005. On September25,2006, Carmona filed the this petition seeking a writ of mandamus.

On October 23,2006, the District Court entered an order denying Carmona's habeas petition. Because Carmona has now received the relief he sought in filing his mandamus petition -a ruling on his habeas corpus petition -we will deny his mandamus petition as moot.
