PER CURIAM

       Petitioner Omar McBride filed a pro se “Petition for Judicial Review Pursuant to

Mediation Rule L.A.R. 33.1 Appellate Mediation Program,” which we have construed as

a mandamus petition requesting that we direct the District Court to rule on his pending

motion for a sentence reduction. By order entered September 19, 2022, the District Court

denied the motion.

       In light of the District Court’s action, McBride’s mandamus petition no longer

presents a live controversy. Therefore, we will dismiss it as moot. See Blanciak v.

Allegheny Ludlum Corp., 77 F.3d 690, 698-99 (3d Cir. 1996) (“If developments occur

during the course of adjudication that . . . prevent a court from being able to grant the

requested relief, the case must be dismissed as moot.”).
