PER CURIAM.

Mary Corley and James B. Donahoe appeal the district court's award of injunctive relief to Dennis Groshel, a blind vendor who operates vending machines as a Randolph-Sheppard Act licensee of the Minnesota Department of Economic Security. See 20 U.S.C. §§ 107-107f (1994). We have resolved the merits of Corley's and Donahoe's appeal in a consolidated case. See Minnesota Dep't of Econ. Sec. v. Riley, No. 96-2477 (8th Cir. Feb. 26, 1997). Our decision in the companion case renders this case moot. Hence, we dismiss Corley's and Donahoe's appeal, vacate the district court's order, and remand with instructions to dismiss the case. See Longley v. Holahan, 34 F.3d 1366, 1367 (8th Cir. 1994). A true copy.

CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
