v.
Harold A. BOIRE, Regional Director of the Twelfth Region of
the National Labor Relations Board, for and on
Behalf of the NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD.
No. 18607.
United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit.
March 30, 1961.
Joseph H. Kaplan, Miami, Fla., Kaplan, Ser & Abrams, Miami, Fla., for appellants.
Winthrop A. Johns, Asst. Gen. Counsel, N.L.R.B., Washington, D.C., Stuart Rothman, General Counsel, Dominick L. Manoli, Associate General Counsel, Marcel Mallet-Prevost, Asst. General Counsel, Marvin Roth, Attorney, National Labor Relations Board, Washington, D.C., for appellee.
Before JONES and BROWN, Circuit Judges, and CONNALLY, District Judge.
PER CURIAM.
On application of the Regional Director the District Court on June 17, 1960, entered an injunction pursuant to 10(l), 29 U.S.C.A. 160(l), pending final adjudication of 8(b)(4)(i)(ii)(B) secondary boycott proceedings pending before the Board. On August 15, 1960 the Union appealed the order granting the injunction to this Court. On September 13, 1960, the parties by formal settlement stipulation, thereafter approved by the Board, agreed to the entry to a consent order restraining the charged violations and directing the posting of appropriate notices. On the entry of that agreed consent order, the court injunction had fulfilled its function. The Board in the language of the injunction had now made 'final disposition of the matters * * * pending before the * * * Board.' That proceeding and the appeal therefrom had become moot. Nothing done in the related case of N.L.R.B. v. Carpenters' District Council of Miami, et al., 5 Cir., 1961, 288 F.2d 455 seeking enforcement by this Court under 10(e), 29 U.S.C.A. 160(e), of the Board's consent order, was of any significance. If anything it only made more so that which was already moot.
Appeal dismissed as moot.
