motion for a sentence reduction. By order entered September 19, 2022, the District Court
denied the motion.
In light of the District Court’s action, McBride’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 . . . prevent a court from being able to grant the
requested relief, the case must be dismissed as moot.”).
