OPINION
PER CURIAM.
In 2012, Petitioner John Gassew was convicted of two counts of robbery in violation of the Hobbs Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1951(a), and two counts of carrying and using a firearm during a crime of violence. The District Court sentenced Gassew to 444 months' imprisonment, we affirmed that judgment, see United States v. Gassew, 519 Fed.Appx. 764, 765 (3d Cir.2013), and the United States Supreme Court denied certiorari.
Shortly after our decision, Gassew, proceeding pro se, moved the District Court for copies of "All Exhibits, Trial Transcripts, Motions, Sentence Transcripts, as well as video recordings, of the Trial in this matter." The Government opposed the motion. In December 2013, when the motion was still pending, Gassew filed this pro se petition for a writ of mandamus, setting forth reasons why the requested materials should be provided to him. On January 16, 2014, the District Court granted his motion. In light of that decision, we will deny Gassew's mandamus petition as moot.
. To the extent that Gassew asks us to take judicial notice of certain statements made in the Government's opposition to his motion, we deny that request as unnecessary.
