Opinion

Per Curiam.

Upon consideration of the suggestion of mootness filed by the Solicitor General and upon an examination of the entire record, the petition for a writ of certiorari is granted, the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit is vacated and the case is remanded to that court with instructions to dismiss the mandamus proceeding as moot.
