PER CURIAM

       Daniel Patrick Sheehan was convicted of extortion and using a “destructive

device” to commit extortion, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1951 and 924(c)(1)(B)(ii).

After unsuccessful challenges to his convictions on direct appeal and in proceedings

under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, Sheehan filed a habeas petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 in the

District Court. Now, seeking an order from this Court compelling the District Court to


*
 This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not
constitute binding precedent.
adjudicate his § 2241 petition, Sheehan has filed a petition for a writ of mandamus. The

subject § 2241 petition, however, has since been dismissed by the District Court. See

ECF 25-26. Sheehan’s mandamus petition is thus moot and will be dismissed. See

Blanciak v. Allegheny Ludlum Corp., 77 F.3d 690, 699-700 (3d Cr. 1996).
