OPINION
_________
PER CURIAM
On January 24, 2012, Brenneis Alister Nesbitt filed a petition for writ of
mandamus requesting that we direct the District Court to rule on a motion that he had
filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. On that same day, the District Court ruled on
Nesbitt’s § 2255 motion. In light of the District Court’s action, the question Nesbitt
presented is no longer a live controversy, so we will deny the petition as moot. See, e.g.,
Lusardi v. Xerox Corp., 975 F.2d 964, 974 (3d Cir. 1992).
