JUDGMENT ORDER 

______________

This matter comes on before this Court on an appeal from an order of the District 

Court entered on November 20, 2015, denying a motion for a preliminary injunction. 

While the appeal has been pending, the District Court on June 16, 2016, entered an order 

dismissing the complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. In the circumstances,

even if we held that the District Court should not have denied the motion for the 

preliminary injunction we cannot remand the case to the District Court with instructions 

to enter the injunction because the case is no longer pending in that Court. Moreover, if 

we affirmed the denial of the motion for a preliminary injunction our order would have 

no consequence as the order affirming the denial would not compel the defendants to do 

anything. Consequently, the appeal is moot and therefore we dismiss appeal. The parties 

will bear their own costs on this appeal.

By the Court,
