This is an appeal from an order allowing perpetuation of testimony under Rule 27, F.R.Civ.Proc. The order was stayed by this court pending appeal.

(1) The affirmance of the judgment in Vierra v. Grier, 471 F.2d 545 by this court on January 15, 1973.

(2) The overruling on November 14, 1972 of the pleas to the jurisdiction filed by Louis A. Vierra and Verda A. Vierra in Cause No. 72-3867 D, Allstate Insurance v. Yassu Grier, Louis A. Vierra and Verda Vierra, in the district court for the 95th Judicial District, Dallas County, Texas.

It is so ordered.
