This 21st day of August 2006,the Court has considered the petition for a 
writ of mandamus filed by James Allen and the answer and motion to dismiss 
filed by the State of Delaware.  Allen=s mandamus petition seeks to compel the 
Superior Court to rule on his petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed on May 
26, 2006.  By order docketed on June 16, 2006, the Superior Court denied 
Allen=s habeas petition.*  In view of the Superior Court=s order, Allen=s petition 
for a writ of mandamus in this Court is moot. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the petition for a writ of 
mandamus is DISMISSED as moot.
