OPINION

Before RUSSELL and HALL,^*  Circuit Judges, and SPROUSE, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM

John C. Pappas, doing business as Connie's Carry Out, appeals the district court's orders granting summary judgment in favor of the city of Alexandria, Virginia, dismissing the remainder of his civil Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C.A. §§ 1961-68 (1988 & West Supp. 1992), complaint against other Defendants, and denying a motion for reconsideration pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 59. An Appellee has filed a certified copy of Appellant's death certificate with this Court which shows John C. Pappas died during the pendency of this appeal. Therefore, we vacate the district court's order and remand to the district court with instructions to dismiss as moot. United States v. Munsingwear, Inc., 340 U.S. 36, 39-40 (1950). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
