Docket

*1 Before: SMITH, Chief Judge, MCKEE and RENDELL, Circuit Judges (Opinion filed: November 15, 2017) _________ OPINION [*] _________ PER CURIAM

Raymond Chestnut filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting that we direct the District Court to enter judgment on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition filed in Chestnut v. Ebbert, M.D. Pa. Civ. No. 3:16-cv-00097. The District Court has since terminated the case, effectively granting Chestnut’s motion for voluntary dismissal. In light of the District *2 Court’s action, the question Chestnut presented is no longer a live controversy, so we will dismiss his mandamus petition as moot. See, e.g., Lusardi v. Xerox Corp., 975 F.2d 964, 974 (3d Cir. 1992).
