What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals. You will be asked a question pertaining to issues that may appear in any civil law cases including civil government, civil private, and diversity cases. The issue is: "Did the court's ruling on the validity of an injunction or the denial of an injunction or a stay of injunction favor the appellant?" Answer the question based on the directionality of the appeals court decision. If the court discussed the issue in its opinion and answered the related question in the affirmative, answer "Yes". If the issue was discussed and the opinion answered the question negatively, answer "No". If the opinion considered the question but gave a mixed answer, supporting the respondent in part and supporting the appellant in part, answer "Mixed answer". If the opinion does not discuss the issue, or notes that a particular issue was raised by one of the litigants but the court dismissed the issue as frivolous or trivial or not worthy of discussion for some other reason, answer "Issue not discussed". If the opinion considered the question but gave a "mixed" answer, supporting the respondent in part and supporting the appellant in part (or if two issues treated separately by the court both fell within the area covered by one question and the court answered one question affirmatively and one negatively), answer "Mixed answer". If the opinion either did not consider or discuss the issue at all or if the opinion indicates that this issue was not worthy of consideration by the court of appeals even though it was discussed by the lower court or was raised in one of the briefs, answer "Issue not discussed".

ALSCHULER, Circuit Judge
(after stating the facts as above). The appeal is from the vacation of the temporary restraining order and denial of temporary injunction.
Appeal does not lie from order of remandment (section 28 of Judicial Code [Comp. St. § 1010]), but appellant’s undertaking here is, in effect, to have held for naught the order of remandment of the cause, and much of the brief is devoted to support of the contention that the state court should have ordered the removal, and that the District Court should not have remanded the cause.
The temporary restraining order which the District Court granted was evidently in aid of its jurisdiction to hear the question whether it should hold the cause for trial or remand it to the state court. The temporary injunction, for which appellant applied, was in its essence of the same nature. Neither the restraining order nor a temporary injunction would have served any purpose after the cause was remanded to the state court, since by the very act of remandment the further jurisdiction of the District Court over the action ceased. It would seem that the remandment itself operated to vacate any injunctive order of the District Court made only for preserving the status until that court adjudicated the question of removal.
It appears to be counsel’s contention that, the lack of jurisdiction of the state court over appellant being apparent, the cause should not have been remanded, but an injunction awarded to restrain further prosecution of the action. It is sufficient answer to say that want of jurisdiction over appellant does not appear on the face of the proceedings. The asserted facts respecting the service, whereon the alleged want of jurisdiction is predicated, were controvertible, and but for the remandment a properly made issue of fact thereon would have been triable in the District Court. But the remandment, whether right or wrong, left the District Court without jurisdiction to hear and determine that possible issue, or any other issue in the cause.
Without considering appellees’ insistence that section 129 of the Judicial Code (Comp. St. § 1121), which gives appeal from interlocutory orders granting or denying injunction in proceedings in equity, can have no application to a restraining order made in an action at law, we are of opinion that, with the cause remanded, appeal from the vacation of the restraining order, and from the denial of the temporary injunction, is wholly futile, and can in no event avail appellant anything.
The appeal is therefore dismissed.
