Ed. 2d 44, and appellant having filed a motion suggesting that this cause is now moot because appellant was granted a parole effective October 29, 1973.
On further consideration whereof, it is now ordered and adjudged by this Court that the order of the District Court dated February 17, 1971 dismissing appellant's complaint for failure to state a claim is hereby vacated, and this cause is remanded to the District Court with directions to enter an order dismissing appellant's complaint as moot.
