PER CURIAM
Pro se petitioner Francisco Herrera-Genao seeks a writ of mandamus to compel
the District Court to rule on a motion he filed to correct his restitution obligation in his
judgment of sentence. A writ of mandamus may be warranted where a district court’s
“undue delay is tantamount to a failure to exercise jurisdiction.” See Madden v. Myers,
*
This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not
constitute binding precedent.
102 F.3d 74, 79 (3d Cir. 1996). On July 30, 2019, the District Court entered an order
directing the Government to respond to Herrera-Genao’s motion. Because the case is
now moving forward, we find no reason to grant the “drastic remedy” of mandamus
relief. See In re Diet Drugs Prods. Liab. Litig.,
418 F.3d 372, 378 (3d Cir. 2005). We
have full confidence that the District Court will rule on Herrera-Genao’s motion within a
reasonable time. Accordingly, we will deny Herrera-Genao’s mandamus petition.
