PER CURIAM

       Alton D. Brown filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting that we direct the

District Court to rule on a request for an opportunity to appeal the District Court’s

dismissal order in Brown v. Lancaster, M.D. Pa. Civ. No. 3:14-cv-01180. The District

Court has since ruled on Brown’s filing. In light of the District Court’s action, the

*
 This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not

mandamus petition as moot. See, e.g., Lusardi v. Xerox Corp., 
975 F.2d 964
, 974 (3d

Cir. 1992).
