1

The Honorable Richard H. Kyle, United States District Judge for the District

of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Raymond

L. Erickson, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.

-2-

In this interlocutory appeal, Lance Gerald Milliman challenges the district

court’s1

 denial of his motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary

injunction. Milliman sought to prevent the suspension of his Minnesota commercial

driver’s license during the pendency of his federal suit challenging the

constitutionality of Minn. Stat. § 518.551, subd. 13 (2006) (providing for suspension

of driver’s license for nonpayment of child support). We find this appeal moot

because on June 23, 2005, a Minnesota state court issued an order granting Milliman

the relief he sought: a stay of the suspension of his Minnesota commercial driver’s

license until resolution of his action in federal district court. See Honig v. Students

of the Cal. Sch. for the Blind, 471 U.S. 148, 149 (1985) (per curiam) (once action

sought in request for PI is taken, case is mooted); Flittie v. Erickson, 724 F.2d 80, 81

(8th Cir. 1983) (appeal regarding claim for injunctive relief became moot where, at

administrative hearing that occurred after district court issued order, plaintiff received

specific relief requested in federal suit such that substantial controversy no longer

existed).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as moot.
