                               Pasadena, California

Before: KLEINFELD and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges, and MARBLEY, District
Judge.***

      Defendants-Appellants Stanley Zurn and Kellunion, LLC (collectively,

Defendants) appeal from an order directing the IRS to execute and deliver certain

deeds to purchasers of real properties. Because the relevant properties were sold

and the deeds were delivered to non-parties pursuant to a court order, we cannot

grant effective relief. See Fultz v. Rose, 833 F.2d 1380, 1380 (9th Cir. 1987);

Holloway v. United States, 789 F.2d 1372, 1373-74 (9th Cir. 1986). Therefore,

Defendants’ appeal is dismissed as moot.

      DISMISSED.

        **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
