IN RE: JOSE ESTRADA, Petitioner
NOT PRECEDENTIAL
Submitted Pursuant to Rule 21, Fed. R. App. P. March 9, 2023
On a Petition for Writ of Mandamus from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Related to E.D. Pa. Crim. No. 2-12-cr-00581-001)
Before: Chief Judge CHAGARES, HARDIMAN, and PHIPPS, Circuit Judges
OPINION
PER CURIAM
Jose Estrada, proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for a writ of mandamus compelling the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania to adjudicate his motion for compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). While this petition was pending before us, the District Court denied Estrada's motion. In light of the District Court's action, Estrada's mandamus petition no longer presents a live controversy. Accordingly, we will dismiss the 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.").
This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not constitute binding precedent.
