OPINION _________

PER CURIAM

Robert Odell Davis requests by way of mandamus that we compel the District

Court to rule on certain motions that were pending in his civil rights action at the time

Davis filed the instant petition. By order entered March 9, 2012, however, the District

Court did rule on those motions and entered judgment against Davis. Accordingly, this

mandamus petition will be denied as moot.
