IN RE: Robert ALLEY (2018)

OPINION *

On September 16, 2018, Robert Alley filed a petition for writ of mandamus to compel the District Court to adjudicate his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. But by order entered October 17, 2018, the District Court dismissed Alley's habeas petition, so we must in turn dismiss his mandamus petition 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 eliminate a plaintiff's personal stake in the outcome of a suit or prevent a court from being able to grant the requested relief, the case must be dismissed as moot.”).
