STATE of Vermont v. Paul F. McGUIRE.
    [475 A.2d 241]
    No. 82-450
    March 23, 1984.
   The motion of

appellant’s attorney to dismiss the appeal of his conviction is granted. Since his death on January 10, 1984, has deprived him of his right to our decision, the interests of justice require that he not stand convicted without a resolution of the merits of his appeal. The cause is therefore remanded to the District Court of Vermont, Unit 1, Rutland Circuit, which is directed to vacate the conviction. United States v. Moehlenkamp, 557 F.2d 126, 128 (7th Cir. 1977).
