Abraham Nee Ntreh v.
Opinion
OPINION
We discussed the unusual background of Ntreh’s criminal ease in a previous opinion, see In re Ntreh, 401 Fed.Appx. 686 (3d Cir. 2010) (per curiam), and -will not repeat ourselves here. According to his mandamus petition, in March 2012 Ntreh formally waived his right to be present during his resentencing; having now provided such a waiver, Ntreh argues that our intervention is necessary to ensure his resentencing. To the contrary: the District Court docket reflects that Ntreh’s pending motions, including his request to set a firm sentencing date (the last of which was scheduled for February 2012, but was continued), will be heard at an omnibus hearing to take place in December 2012. 1 It appears that the District Court intends to exercise its jurisdiction in due course, see In re Patenaude, 210 F.3d 135, 140 (3d Cir. 2000), and we detect no other extraordinary factors that would suggest that mandamus relief is warranted at this time. See Birdman v. Office of the Governor, 677 F.3d 167, 174 (3d Cir. 2012). Accordingly, Ntreh’s petition for mandamus will be denied, without prejudice to his renewing the request should the delay in District Court become newly protracted. See Madden v. Myers, 102 F.3d 74, 79 (3d Cir. 1996).
. The December date is due to the assigned District Judge being on medical leave. We note that this scheduling order was entered after Ntreh filed his mandamus petition, so he would not have been aware of it at the time.
