In Re:Tyrone Staples

Opinion

OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Pro se petitioner Tyrone Staples, an inmate at the United States Penitentiary at Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, seeks a writ of mandamus to compel the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania to promptly reach a decision on his petition for writ of habeas corpus filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241.

Staples filed his § 2241 petition with the district court on December 19, 2006. On July 9, 2007, this petition for writ of mandamus was docketed (Staples dated the *238 petition June 20, 2007). 1 On July 6, 2007, the district court entered an order denying Staples’ § 2241 petition. 2 Because Staples has received the relief he sought in filing his mandamus petition — a ruling on his § 2241 petition — we will deny his mandamus petition as moot.

1

. In a clerk's order, Staples was granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and asked to provide a response explaining why his mandamus petition was not moot in light of the district court’s order. Staples has filed no such response.

2

. Staples filed a notice of appeal on July 16, 2007.
