OPINION*
_________
PER CURIAM
Petitioner, Donald G. Jackman, Jr., filed a petition for a writ of mandamus on
December 15, 2014, asking us to order the District Court to render a decision on his
petition for writ of habeas corpus and his subsequent motion for summary judgment. By
order entered on January 7, 2015, the District Court dismissed Jackman’s petition for writ
of habeas corpus and denied his motion for summary judgment as moot. Because
*
This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not
constitute binding precedent.
Jackman has received the relief he requested in his mandamus petition,1 we will dismiss
the petition as moot. See Blanciak v. Allegheny Ludlum Corp., 77 F.3d 690, 698-99 (3d
Cir. 1996).
1
Jackman transmitted to the Court a copy of his motion to alter or amend judgment in the
habeas case and requested that we review documents submitted in his direct criminal
appeal. None of those documents affect the outcome of this mandamus action.
