In re GRAND JURY PROCEEDINGS. Appeal of James Terrell KNIGHT, Grand Jury Witness.
    No. 78-3556
    Summary Calendar.
    
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Jan. 9, 1979.
    Claude W. Hicks, Jr. (Court-appointed), Macon, Ga., for appellant.
    D. L. Rampey, Jr., U. S. Atty., William G. Boyd, Asst. U. S. Atty., Macon, Ga., for appellee.
    Before RONEY, GEE and FAY, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       Rule 18, 5 Cir.; see Isbell Enterprises, Inc. v. Citizens Casualty Co. of New York et al., 5 Cir., 1970, 431 F.2d 409, Part I.
    
   PER CURIAM:

Appellant asserts that collateral consequences of his civil contempt conviction for refusing to furnish handwriting exemplars to a grand jury — the tolling of a previous sentence being served by him — prevent a subsequent order vacating that conviction from thereby rendering this appeal moot. Agreeing, we affirm the conviction. United States v. Mara, 410 U.S. 19, 93 S.Ct. 774, 35 L.Ed.2d 99 (1973); cf. United States v. Dionisio, 410 U.S. 1, 93 S.Ct. 764, 35 L.Ed.2d 67 (1973).

AFFIRMED.
