PER CURIAM

       Pro se petitioner Born Rush filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting that

we direct the District Court to rule upon his then-pending petition under 28 U.S.C.

§ 2241. Soon thereafter, the District Court disposed of Rush’s § 2241 petition,

constitute binding precedent.

mandamus petition.
