Heading: Issue Regarding Motion to Correct Record Is Moot.

Text: The Homeowners assign that the district court erred in overruling their motion to correct the record by striking the court's ruling on a motion for a temporary restraining order. The Homeowners assert that such a motion was never made and that therefore, they had no opportunity to present evidence to the court on such a motion. Further, they argue that by ruling on a matter not before the court and prior to the presentation on the merits, the court created an appearance that it had predetermined the merits of the action. Accordingly, the Homeowners argue that the portion of the court's September 15, 2004, order ruling on a temporary restraining order is void. [19] The district court correctly overruled the Homeowners' motion to correct the record because, contrary to their argument, they indeed requested a temporary restraining order in their complaint. In any event, any issue with respect to a temporary restraining order is moot; the denial of a temporary restraining order is not a final, appealable order, and those issues merge into the final decree. See, Waite v. City of Omaha, 263 Neb. 589, 641 N.W.2d 351 (2002); State ex rel. Douglas v. Ledwith, 204 Neb. 6, 281 N.W.2d 729 (1979). The Homeowners' final assignment of error is without merit.
