                                        _________

PER CURIAM

       Petitioner Tarireef White filed a petition for writ of mandamus on September 27,

2012, asking us to order the District Court to render a decision on his motion to vacate his

sentence under 28 U.S.C. § 2255.

       By order entered on March 18, 2013, the District Court dismissed White’s § 2255

motion and declined to issue a certificate of appealability. Because White has now

received the relief he requested in his mandamus petition—a decision on his § 2255
motion—we will deny his mandamus petition as moot. See Blanciak v. Allegheny

Ludlum Corp., 77 F.3d 690, 698-99 (3d Cir. 1996).
