HLD-176 (August 2011) NOT PRECEDENTIAL UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT ___________ No. 11-3055 ___________ IN RE: GEORGE P. JOHNSON, Petitioner ____________________________________ On a Petition for Writ of Mandamus from the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (Related to D. Del. Civ. No. 1-09-cv-00619) ____________________________________ Submitted Pursuant to Rule 21, Fed. R. App. P. August 25, 2011 Before: McKEE, Chief Judge, ALDISERT and WEIS, Circuit Judges (Opinion filed: July 23, 2012) _________ OPINION _________ PER CURIAM George P. Johnson filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting that we direct the District Court to rule on a petition that he had filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The District Court has since ruled on Johnson s § 2254 petition. In light of the District Court s action, the question Johnson presented is no longer a live controversy, so we will deny his mandamus petition as moot. See, e.g., Lusardi v. Xerox Corp., 975 F.2d 964, 974 (3d Cir. 1992).
