Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM:

[*184] PER CURIAM:

On the argument of this and the companion appeal Klastorin v. Roth, et al., 353 F. 2d 182 (2 Cir. 1965), we were advised that these two cases, arising out of the same transactions, have been consolidated by the District Court for trial, have been assigned to a Rule 2 Judge1 and both cases will be tried shortly.

The relief which was sought by the motion for a temporary injunction2 and denied by Judge McGohey would be impossible of fulfillment for the events which Richland sought to restrain have already occurred. The appeal is therefore moot.3 See Sawyer v. Pioneer Mill Co., 300 F. 2d 200 (9th Cir. 1962), cert. denied, 371 U.S. 814, 83 S.Ct. 24, 9 L.Ed. 2d 55.

Appeal dismissed.
