ORDER
The defendants appeal an order granting the plaintiffs' application for a temporary restraining order prohibiting the defendants from implementing state budget cuts by reducing benefits to AFDC and Medicaid recipients. The defendants now move to stay the temporary restraining order and, in the alternative, for a writ of mandamus. The plaintiffs have responded in opposition.
The temporary restraining order which is the subject of this appeal expired on May 10, 1991. The district court has denied the plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction and the defendants' appeal is now moot.
It is therefore ORDERED that the defendants' appeal, motion for a stay, and alternative petition for mandamus are dismissed as moot.
