ORDER DENYING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 
PER CURIAM:
[¶ 1]	Before the Court is Petitioner Ellender Ngirameketii’s Petition for a Writ of Mandamus pursuant to ROP R. App. P. 21, which was filed on July 15, 2021.  The petition seeks an order directing the Trial Division to rule on Petitioner’s Motion to Dismiss the charges against him on the grounds that his speedy trial rights have been violated.  Because the Trial Division ruled on the pending motion on July 16, 2021, the application for the writ of mandamus is moot and is accordingly DENIED.
