In Re: ROBERT ALLEY, Petitioner
CLD-022
NOT PRECEDENTIAL
On a Petition for Writ of Mandamus from the United States District Court for the District of Delaware
(Related to D. Del. Civ. No. 1-16-cv-00569) Submitted Pursuant to Rule 21, Fed. R. App. P.
November 1, 2018
Before: CHAGARES, RESTREPO and SCIRICA, Circuit Judges OPINION PER CURIAM
This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not constitute binding precedent. --------
On September 16, 2018, Robert Alley filed a petition for writ of mandamus to compel the District Court to adjudicate his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. But by order entered October 17, 2018, the District Court dismissed Alley's habeas petition, so we must in turn dismiss his mandamus petition 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.").
