ORDER
The appellants having been found to be in civil contempt of court for failure to comply with child support orders and having appealed therefrom; and
The appellees having filed motions to dismiss the appeals on grounds of mootness under Maryland Rule 835 a 2 and 6; and
It appearing that the appellant Chase has heretofore purged himself of the contempt by serving 90 days in jail and now has been released from custody, thus rendering the matter moot, and that the appellant Bowman paid child support in an amount designated by the court sufficient to purge the contempt; it is, therefore, this 22nd day of April, 1980
ORDERED, by the Court of Appeals of Maryland, a majority of the Judges concurring, that the appeals be, and they are hereby, dismissed.
