Before BROWN, Chief Judge, INGRAHAM and RONEY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


We are impelled to dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. An appeal was taken from an order denying a temporary restraining order. Such an order is not appealable. Smith v. Grady, 411 F.2d 181 (5th Cir., 1969); Chandler v. Garrison, 394 F.2d 828 (5th Cir., 1967).

Dismissed.
