In re Jamah Grosvenor

HLD-114 (April 2010) NOT PRECEDENTIAL UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT ___________ No. 09-4383 ___________ IN RE: JAMAH GROSVENOR, Petitioner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. 06-cv-00619) ____________________________________ Submitted Pursuant to Rule 21, Fed. R. App. P. April 30, 2010 Before: SCIRICA, WEIS and GARTH, Circuit Judges Opinion filed: May 24, 2010 ___________ OPINION ___________ PER CURIAM. In November 2009, Jamah Grosvenor filed this pro se mandamus petition seeking and directing the District Court to rule upon his motion to vacate, set aside, or correct his sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. At the time Grosvenor filed this petition, the District Court had not yet acted on Grosvenor’s motion, which had been pending without activity since March 2007. By order entered on March 1, 2010, the District Court denied Grosvenor’s motion. Because Grosvenor has now received the relief he sought in filing his mandamus petition – namely, a ruling on his § 2255 motion – we will deny his petition as moot. 2
