May 29, 2025 Before: CHAGARES, Chief Judge, HARDIMAN, and PORTER, Circuit Judges (Opinion filed: October 10, 2025) _________ OPINION * _________ PER CURIAM In May 2025, Erik Khan filed a pro se petition for a writ of mandamus requesting that this Court compel the District Court to rule on his then-pending § 2241 petition for a writ of habeas corpus. On June 2, 2025, the District Court ruled on the petition, denying relief. See D.Ct. ECF Nos. 18, 19. Given the District Court’s ruling, we will dismiss the petition as moot. See Blanciak v. Allegheny Ludlum Corp., 77 F.3d 690, 698–99 (3d Cir.
* This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not constitute binding precedent.
1996) (“If developments occur during the course of adjudication that … prevent a court from being able to grant the requested relief, the case must be dismissed as moot.”). 1
In light of our disposition, Khan’s motion to voluntarily dismiss his mandamus petition is denied as unnecessary.
