In re: Imani ABDUS-SABIR, Petitioner.
    No. 14-2058.
    United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit.
    Submitted Pursuant to Rule 21, Fed. R.App. P. June 12, 2014.
    Opinion filed: June 20, 2014.
    Imani Abdus-Sabir, Newark, NJ, pro se.
   OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Petitioner Imani Abdus-Sabir filed in this Court a petition for writ of mandamus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1651, seeking an order that the United States District Court of New Jersey be compelled to rule on his motions for the appointment of counsel and for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. He then filed a similar petition in the District Court, along with a renewed application to proceed in forma pauperis. Subsequently, by order entered on June 9, 2014, the District Court ruled on the motion for the appointment of counsel and the renewed application to proceed in forma pauperis. Accordingly, we will deny Ab-dus-Sabir’s mandamus petition as moot. See Blanciak v. Allegheny Ludlum Corp., 77 F.3d 690, 698-99 (3d Cir.1996). 
      
      . The District Court denied the application to proceed in forma pauperis on the ground that a portion of the renewed application was illegible. Because the District Court's dismissal of Abdus-Sabir's complaint was without prejudice, he is not precluded from pursuing his case there by once again filing a complaint accompanied by a legible version of the documents required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2).
