                      On a Petition for Writ of Mandamus from the
           United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania
                           (Related to Civ. No. 04-cv-00819)

                                       OPINION
                               _______________________

PER CURIAM.

              Margaret Wallace asks that we issue a writ of mandamus directing

Honorable R. Barclay Surrick to recuse himself because he has failed to rule on alleged

attorney fraud that Wallace has documented in the record. Wallace additionally asks this

Court to adjudicate the issues of attorney fraud she presented to the District Court. For

the reasons that follow, we will deny the petition.




                                              1
             The District Court dismissed Wallace’s Complaint on November 18, 2005,

pursuant to Poulis v. State Farm Fire & Casualty Co., 

(3d Cir. 1984).

Wallace has appealed from that order. See C.A. 05-5216.

             Thus, we will dismiss this mandamus petition as moot.
