ORDER AND JUDGMENT** 

HANSEN, District Judge.

Defendant-appellant Flagg appeals the entry by the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming of a declaratory judgment that a warrant executed by his office was invalid because it lacked the requisite particularity to comply with the requirements of the Fourth Amendment. This case is a companion appeal to Central Wyoming Law Associates v. Denhardt, et al., No. 93-8118, F.3d (10th Cir. _____, 1995). For substantially the same reasons articulated in our opinion in that case, we find that the case presented is now moot. Indeed, this case was moot at the time of the decision of the district court. Therefore, the district court lacked the jurisdiction required by Article III of the Constitution to consider the underlying issues. The judgment of the district court is VACATED and the case is REMANDED to the district court with instructions that the complaint be dismissed.

The Honorable C. LeRoy Hansen, United States District Judge for the District of New Mexico, sitting by designation
