ORDER ¹

1 This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as may be provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

On November 18, 1997, Hermandad, Farber and Lopez appealed an order that denied their motion to enjoin enforcement of subpoenas issued by Dornan under the Federal Contested Elections Act. 2 U.S.C. § 381 et seq. On February 4, 1998, the United States House of Representatives dismissed the election contest of Dornan against Loretta Sanchez. See H. Res. 355, 104th Cong. (1998). There no longer exists any case or controversy.

The appeal is DISMISSED AS MOOT.
