Lois Jean Newman, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Freedom Mortgage Corporation; Fairfax County Sheriff'soffice, Defendants-appellees, 986 F.2d 1414 (4th Cir. 1993)
Annotate this CaseAppeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Albert V. Bryan, Jr., Senior District Judge. (CA-92-1355-A)
Lois Jean Newman, Appellant Pro Se.
E.D. Va.
DISMISSED.
Before HALL and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Lois Jean Newman seeks to appeal the district court's order denying her request for a temporary restraining order* staying an eviction. Our review of the record and the documents supporting the appeal discloses that the eviction has occurred. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as moot. 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.
DISMISSED
Ordinarily, the denial of a temporary restraining order is not appealable. See Virginia v. Tenneco, Inc., 538 F.2d 1026, 1029-30 (4th Cir. 1976). However, as the record before this Court reflects that the proceeding in the district court was in the nature of a motion for a preliminary injunction, this Court has jurisdiction over the appeal. Id.; 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1988)
