Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Agreeing with the District Court that this case is not moot, we affirm the dismissal on the ground that the Topaz 1-2-3 Lounge, which does not serve food or offer entertainment, is not within the ambit of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and that the Civil Rights Act of 1866 was not intended to reach places of public accommodations.
Affirmed.
