IN RE: ROCMON L. SANDERS, Petitioner
NOT PRECEDENTIAL
Submitted Pursuant to Rule 21, Fed. R. App. P. June 9, 2022
On a Petition for Writ of Mandamus from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Related to E.D. Pa. Civ. No. 2:20-cv-01051)
Before: CHAGARES, Chief Judge, PORTER and FUENTES, Circuit Judges
OPINION [*]
PER CURIAM
Petitioner Rocmon Sanders seeks a writ of mandamus to compel the District Court to rule on a petition he filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. By order entered on June 14, 2022, the District Court deemed his petition moot, as he is no longer in federal custody. In light of the District Court's action, Sanders's mandamus petition no longer presents 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.")
Sanders's "Motion for Expedited Appeal" is also 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.
