Opinion:
BLAIR, J.
This appeal was from a temporary injunction, restraining Theodore Porter from selling the community property pending a division thereof in a divorce proceeding between the parties. Appellee, through her counsel, filed a motion to dismiss the appeal, supported by an affidavit that the parties had gone back together and resumed their relationship as husband and wife, and that the property subject to the restraining order had been sold since the parties had resumed their relationship as husband and wife, and therefore the question presented by this appeal becomes moot. Appellant's counsel do not controvert the facts above set forth.
