Docket

*1 Before: KRAUSE, MATEY and PHIPPS, Circuit Judges

(Opinion filed: December 8, 2021)

_________ OPINION [*] _________ PER CURIAM

Richard Stewart filed a pro se petition for a writ of mandamus requesting that we compel the District Court to rule, in his favor, on a petition he filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. The District Court has since denied the § 2241 petition by order entered October *2 13, 2021, and Stewart has appealed. See C.A. No. 21-2980. In light of the District Court’s action, this mandamus petition does not present 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.”).
