                                         OPINION
                                     ________________
PER CURIAM

       In July 2004 Jorge Porte filed a habeas corpus petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

2241. In December 2005 Porte filed a mandamus petition seeking an order compelling

the District Court to rule on his petition. Shortly thereafter the District Court did so,

denying the petition on January 9, 2006.

       Accordingly, the mandamus petition is moot, and we will deny it.
