¶2 George P. Johnson filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting that we direct the District Court to rule on a petition that he had filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The District Court has since ruled on Johnson’s § 2254 petition. In light of the District Court’s action, the question Johnson presented is no longer a live controversy, so we will deny his mandamus petition as moot. See, e.g., Lusardi v. Xerox Corp., 975 F.2d 964, 974 (3d Cir. 1992).
