OPINION*

PER CURIAM
In May 2025, Erik Khan filed a pro se petition for a writ of mandamus requesting
that this Court compel the District Court to rule on his then-pending § 2241 petition for a
writ of habeas corpus. On June 2, 2025, the District Court ruled on the petition, denying
relief. See D.Ct. ECF Nos. 18, 19. Given the District Court’s ruling, we will dismiss the
petition as moot. See Blanciak v. Allegheny Ludlum Corp., 77 F.3d 690, 698–99 (3d Cir.
* This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not
constitute binding precedent.

from being able to grant the requested relief, the case must be dismissed as moot.”). 1
1 In light of our disposition, Khan’s motion to voluntarily dismiss his mandamus petition
is denied as unnecessary.
