In re Hector SOTO, Petitioner.
    No. 11-1876.
    United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit.
    Submitted Pursuant to Rule 21, Fed. R.App. P. April 24, 2012.
    Opinion filed: May 1, 2012.
    Hector Soto, Glenville, WV, pro se.
    Before: MCKEE, Chief Judge, ALDISERT and WEIS, Circuit Judges.
   OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Hector Soto filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting that we direct the District Court to rule on a motion that he had filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. The District Court has since ruled on Soto’s § 2255 motion. In light of the District Court’s action, the question Soto presented is no longer a live controversy, so we will deny the petition as moot. See, e.g., Lusardi v. Xerox Corp., 975 F.2d 964, 974 (3d Cir.1992).
