                 Per Curiam.  Appellants David and Catherine Jones appeal
                 __________            the order  of  the United  States  Bankruptcy Court  for  the            District of  New Hampshire, dated  June 7, 1994,  affirmed by            the district court, granting appellees relief, pursuant to 11            U.S.C.    362(d), from  the automatic  stay provision  of the            Bankruptcy Code, in order  that appellees might continue with            their attempt  to evict  appellants from  property appellants            had leased in  Gloucester, Massachusetts.  Appellants  failed            to seek  a stay of  this order pending  appeal.  See  Fed. R.
                                                             ___            Bank.  P.  8005.   Appellees  thereupon  obtained  a writ  of            execution from the Massachusetts housing court and appellants            were removed from the leased property on June 13, 1994.  This            judgment, which is now  final, is entitled to full  faith and            credit before  this court.  See  28 U.S.C.   1738.   Since we
                                        ___            can  no longer  provide any  effective relief  to appellants,            this  case must  be dismissed  as  moot.   See  In re  Public
                                _________  __  ____    ___  _____________            Service  Co. of New Hampshire, 963 F.2d 469, 471-76 (1st Cir.
            _____________________________            1992)  (case moot  where failure  to seek stay  of bankruptcy            court  order  resulted  "in circumstances  were  no effective            relief can be provided").
