Opinion
OPINION PER CURIAM. Petitioner Norman Shelton filed a petition for writ of mandamus on February 22, 2013, asking us to order the District Court to render a decision on his numerous pending motions for preliminary injunctions and restraining orders. By order entered on April 4, 2013, the District Court denied Shelton’s motions for “declaratory relief, preliminary injunctions, and temporary restraining orders,” along with his other pending motions for default judgment and contempt. In the same order, the District Court dismissed the case entirely, by granting the Defendants’ motion to dismiss and for
summary judgment. Because Shelton has now received the relief he requested in his mandamus petition, we will deny his mandamus petition as moot. See Blanciak v. Allegheny Ludlum Corp., 77 F.3d 690, 698-99 (3d Cir. 1996).
