In re Born Islam RUSH, Petitioner.
    No. 15-3029.
    United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit.
    Submitted Pursuant to Rule 21, Fed. R.App. P. Sept. 3, 2015.
    Filed: Nov. 16, 2015.
    Born Islam Rush, Fairton FCI, Fairton, NJ, pro se.
    Before: McKEE, Chief Judge, GARTH and BARRY, Circuit Judges.
   OPINION

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, dismissing it in part and denying it in part. Because the District Court granted Rush the relief he requested in his mandamus petition — a decision on his § 2241 petition — his mandamus petition has been rendered moot. See, e.g., Blanciak v. Allegheny Ludlum Corp., 77 F.3d 690, 698-99 (3d Cir.1996). Accordingly, we will dismiss Rush’s mandamus petition. 
      
       This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not constitute binding precedent.
