** AMENDED HLD-006 NOT PRECEDENTIAL UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT ___________ No. 13-1469 ___________ IN RE: NORMAN SHELTON, Petitioner ____________________________________ On a Petition for Writ of Mandamus from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania (Related to M.D. Pa. Civ. No. 12-cv-00422) ____________________________________ Submitted Pursuant to Rule 21, Fed. R. App. P. March 14, 2013 Before: McKEE, Chief Judge, ALDISERT and BARRY, Circuit Judges (Opinion filed: May 24, 2013) _________ OPINION _________ PER CURIAM Petitioner Norman Shelton filed a petition for writ of mandamus on February 22, 2013, asking us to order the District Court to render a decision on his numerous pending motions for preliminary injunctions and restraining orders. By order entered on April 4, 2013, the District Court denied Shelton s motions for declaratory relief, preliminary injunctions, and temporary restraining orders, along with 1 his other pending motions for default judgment and contempt. In the same order, the District Court dismissed the case entirely, by granting the Defendants motion to dismiss and for summary judgment. Because Shelton has now received the relief he requested in his mandamus petition, we will deny his mandamus petition as moot. See Blanciak v. Allegheny Ludlum Corp., 77 F.3d 690, 698-99 (3d Cir. 1996). 2
