OPINION*
_________
PER CURIAM
Eliston F. George filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting that we direct
the District Court to rule on his petition for a writ of audita querela. The District Court
has since ruled on George’s petition, and George has filed a notice of appeal. In light of
the District Court’s action, the question George presented is no longer a live controversy,
*
This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not
constitute binding precedent.
so we will dismiss his mandamus petition as moot. See, e.g., Lusardi v. Xerox Corp., 975
F.2d 964, 974 (3d Cir. 1992).
