OPINION * _________

PER CURIAM

Louis Neptune has filed a petition for a writ of mandamus requesting that we direct

the District Court to rule on several pending motions. The District Court has since ruled

on those motions, and Neptune has filed a notice of appeal. In light of the District Court’s

* This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not constitute binding precedent. action, the question Neptune presented is no longer a live controversy, so we will dismiss

his mandamus petition as moot. See Blanciak v. Allegheny Ludlum Corp.,
