OPINION * _________

PER CURIAM

Jonathan Davey, proceeding pro se, petitions for a writ of mandamus to compel

the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey to adjudicate his petition

for habeas corpus. By order entered on March 20, 2023, the District Court denied his

habeas petition and closed the case. In light of the District Court’s action, Davey’s

* This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not constitute binding precedent. mandamus petition no longer presents a live controversy. Therefore, we will dismiss it as

moot. See Blanciak v. Allegheny Ludlum Corp.,

(3d Cir. 1996) (“If

developments occur during the course of adjudication that eliminate a plaintiff's personal

stake in the outcome of a suit or prevent a court from being able to grant the requested

relief, the case must be dismissed as moot.”).
