Appeal dismissed
Ct. of Appeals dismissed as moot plaintiff's appeal of Dist. Ct. order that denied plaintiff's request for preliminary injunction to prevent defendant-Housing Authority from proceeding in state court action to evict plaintiff from his residence in public housing building. Record showed that subsequent to Dist. Ct.'s order, state court entered order that evicted plaintiff from his residence, and thus matter was moot since any possible use for preliminary injunction had expired upon plaintiff's eviction.
