   OPINION

PER CURIAM.

In this petition for mandamus, Reginald Young asks us to direct the “respondent” to rule on his application for a certificate of appealability. In form, the petition reads less like a request for mandamus and more like a motion to expedite proceedings. In any case, it is moot; we denied Young’s request for a certificate of appealability. See United States v. Young, C.A. No. 12-1577. Therefore, this “mandamus petition” will be denied, as Young has obtained the ruling he seeks to compel. See Carr v. Am. Red Cross, 17 F.3d 671, 684 (3d Cir.1994).
