OPINION* _________

PER CURIAM

Angel Rodriguez filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting that we direct

the District Court to rule on his motion under

. The District Court has

since ruled on Rodriguez’s motion. In light of the District Court’s action, the question

Rodriguez presented is no longer a live controversy, so we will dismiss his mandamus

petition as moot. See, e.g., Lusardi v. Xerox Corp.,

(3d Cir. 1992); see

* This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not constitute binding precedent. also 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.” (citation omitted)).
