PER CURIAM:

1
Appellant asserts that collateral consequences of his civil contempt conviction for refusing to furnish handwriting exemplars to a grand jury the tolling of a previous sentence being served by him prevent a subsequent order vacating that conviction from thereby rendering this appeal moot.  Agreeing, we affirm the conviction.  United States v. Mara, 410 U.S. 19, 93 S. Ct. 774, 35 L. Ed. 2d 99 (1973); Cf. United States v. Dionisio, 410 U.S. 1, 93 S. Ct. 764, 35 L. Ed. 2d 67 (1973).

AFFIRMED.
