PER CURIAM

              Petitioner Thomas Gerrard asks this Court for a writ of mandamus to direct

the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey to take action on his

petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On April 11, 2006, the District Court entered an order

directing the Respondents to file an answer to Gerrard’s petition. Accordingly, we will

deny the request as moot.
