## Opinion text

O’NIBLL, C. J.
The plaintiff sought an injunction from the district court to prevent the letting of a paving contract by the mayor and board of aldermen of the town of Winnsboro to the Flenniken Construction.Company. The district judge issued' a temporary restraining order and a rule ordering the defendants, mayor and board of aldermen, and the Flenniken Construction Company, to show cause why a preliminary injunction should not issue. The defendants answered the petition, and, after hearing evidence, the judge refused to issue an injunction, and dismissed the suit. The plaintiff appealed. The Flenniken Construction Company, appellee, has moved to dismiss the appeal on the ground that, soon after the suit was, dismissed, the contract was let and the paving done, and that the work has been completed, and has been accepted by an ordinance of the board of aldermen. A certified copy of the ordinance, dated June 8, 1925, is annexed to, and filed with, the motion to dismiss the appeal. The suit was filed in January, 1925, and the transcript of appeal was filed in this court in March, 1925. There was no motion- to advance the case to the summary docket. The relief which the appellant sought is not now available.
Under authority of Carey v. Louisiana Highway Commission et al., 161 La. 435 , 108 So. 874 , and Turner v. City of New Orleans, 164 La. 1013 , 115 So. 128 .
The appeal is dismissed.
