¶2 Pro se petitioner Born Rush filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting that we direct the District Court to rule upon his then-pending petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Soon thereafter, the District Court disposed of Rush’s § 2241 petition, dismissing it in part and denying it in part. Because the District Court granted Rush the relief he requested in his mandamus petition — a decision on his § 2241 petition — his mandamus petition has been rendered moot. See, e.g., Blanciak v. Allegheny Ludlum Corp., 77 F.3d 690, 698-99 (3d Cir.1996). Accordingly, we will dismiss Rush’s mandamus petition.
