OPINION _________

PER CURIAM

Pro se petitioner Lamar Brown has filed a petition for writ of mandamus pursuant

to

. He seeks an order compelling the District Court to act on his

petition for writ of habeas corpus. Specifically, he asks that we compel

the District Court to remand his criminal case to the state trial court with instructions to

change his sentence. Our review of the District Court’s docket reveals that Brown’s

action was resolved by the District Court shortly after he filed this petition, and that Brown has filed an appeal of that order, which is currently pending. See M.D. Pa. Civ.

A. No. 12-cv-02021. Brown’s mandamus petition is therefore moot, and we will deny it

accordingly.
