OPINION*
___________
PER CURIAM
On October 7, 2025, Mark-Brian Kline filed a pro se petition for a writ of manda-
mus requesting that this Court compel the District Court to rule on his then-pending mo-
tion to proceed in forma pauperis. On October 15, 2025, the District Court ruled on the
motion, denying relief. Given the District Court’s ruling, we will dismiss the 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 . . . 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.
