Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
The individual claims of the named plaintiffs about delay in the processing of their welfare claims having been satisfied in full, the action was dismissed as moot. This was correct since it could not be continued as a class action without a showing of a discernible class with the requisite community of interest.
Affirmed.
