Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
On the argument of this appeal it became apparent that in view of the changed circumstances since the institution of the action, the only possible relief available to Local 201 in the lawsuit is the award of money damages against the employer. The arbitrator appointed pursuant to the terms of the collective bargaining agreement between Local 201 and the employer is considering that issue.
Consequently, the question of whether the court has jurisdiction over Local 38 and the propriety of Judge Lasker's ruling (555 F.Supp. 314 (D.C.1982)) that tripartite arbitration should be ordered to resolve the litigation need not be decided.
The order appealed from is vacated.
