Todd Robinson v.

BLD-178 NOT PRECEDENTIAL UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT ___________ No. 24-2404 ___________ IN RE: TODD ANTHONY ROBINSON, Petitioner ____________________________________ On a Petition for Writ of Mandamus from the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (Related to W.D. Pa. Civ. No. 2-22-cv-01223) ____________________________________ Submitted Pursuant to Rule 21, Fed. R. App. P. September 5, 2024 Before: BIBAS, MATEY, and CHUNG, Circuit Judges (Opinion filed: September 17, 2024) _________ OPINION* _________ PER CURIAM In July 2024, Todd Robinson filed a pro se petition for a writ of mandamus, asking us to direct the District Court to rule on his petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, or in the alternative, to issue our own ruling on his habeas petition.

After Robinson filed the mandamus petition, the District Court entered a memorandum and order denying his habeas petition. In light of the District Court’s action, this mandamus petition no longer presents a live controversy. Therefore, we will dismiss it as moot. See Blanciak v. Allegheny Ludlum Corp., 77 F.3d 690, 698-99 (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.”).1
