OPINION*
_________
PER CURIAM
Pro se petitioner Dennis James Mayer seeks a writ of mandamus to compel the
United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania to issue a final
appealable order in his federal habeas case. 1
*
This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not
constitute binding precedent.

We previously dismissed Mayer’s appeal of the Magistrate Judge’s Report and
Recommendation for lack of jurisdiction. See C.A. No. 16-3338.
Case: 16-4205

By order entered on December 9, 2016, the District Court granted Respondents’
motion to dismiss, denied Mayer’s habeas petition, and declined to issue a certificate of
appealability. Because Mayer has now received the relief he requested in his mandamus
petition – a final, appealable order – we will dismiss his mandamus petition as moot. See
Blanciak v. Allegheny Ludlum Corp., 77 F.3d 690, 698-99 (3d Cir. 1996).
