HPS-31 (January 2006) NOT PRECEDENTIAL UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT No. 06-1121 ________________ IN RE: JAMALUD-DIN ALMAHDI, Petitioner _______________ On a Petition for Writ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. No. 05-cv-01067) _______________ Submitted Under Rule 21, Fed. R. App. P. January 27, 2006 Before: CHIEF JUDGE SCIRICA, WEIS and GARTH, CIRCUIT JUDGES (Filed: February 7, 2006) OPINION PER CURIAM. Pro se Petitioner Jamalud-din Almadhi, a federal prisoner, seeks a writ of mandamus to compel the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania to reach a decision on his motion to alter or amend judgment filed on August 5, 2005. We will deny the petition for writ of mandamus as moot. At the time of the filing of the petition for writ of mandamus in this Court, 1 the District Court had not ruled on Almahdi’s motion to alter or amend. However, on January 17, 2006, the District Court denied this motion. Therefore, this petition for writ of mandamus will be denied as moot. 2
