OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Petitioner Tarireef White filed a petition for writ of mandamus on September 27, 2012, asking us to order the District Court to render a decision on his motion to vacate his sentence under 28 U.S.C. § 2255.

By order entered on March 18, 2013, the District Court dismissed White’s § 2255 motion and declined to issue a certificate of appealability. Because White has now received the relief he requested in his mandamus petition — a decision on his § 2255 motion — we will deny his mandamus petition as moot. See Blanciak v. Allegheny Ludlum Corp., 77 F.3d 690, 698-99 (3d Cir.1996).
