                                       ___________


PER CURIAM.

              In November 2009, Jamah Grosvenor filed this pro se mandamus petition

seeking and directing the District Court to rule upon his motion to vacate, set aside, or

correct his sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. At the time Grosvenor filed this

petition, the District Court had not yet acted on Grosvenor’s motion, which had been

pending without activity since March 2007. By order entered on March 1, 2010, the

District Court denied Grosvenor’s motion. Because Grosvenor has now received the
relief he sought in filing his mandamus petition – namely, a ruling on his § 2255 motion –

we will deny his petition as moot.
