IN RE: Daniel Patrick SHEEHAN (2019)

United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit.

IN RE: Daniel Patrick SHEEHAN, Petitioner

No. 19-2833

Decided: October 30, 2019

Before: SMITH, Chief Judge, AMBRO and ROTH, Circuit Judges

Daniel Patrick Sheehan, Pro Se Richard Euliss, Esq., Joseph J. Terz, Esq., Office of United States Attorney, Harrisburg, PA, for Defendant - Respondent

OPINION *

Daniel Patrick Sheehan was convicted of extortion and using a “destructive device” to commit extortion, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1951 and 924(c)(1)(B)(ii). After unsuccessful challenges to his convictions on direct appeal and in proceedings under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, Sheehan filed a habeas petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 in the District Court. Now, seeking an order from this Court compelling the District Court to adjudicate his § 2241 petition, Sheehan has filed a petition for a writ of mandamus. The subject § 2241 petition, however, has since been dismissed by the District Court. See ECF 25-26. Sheehan’s mandamus petition is thus moot and will be dismissed. See Blanciak v. Allegheny Ludlum Corp., 77 F.3d 690, 699-700 (3d Cr. 1996).
