Ballard & Thigpen, Troy R. Thigpen, Jr., for plaintiffs in error.

Greeley Ellis, Reuben M. Tuck, contra.

MOBLEY, Justice.

Where, as here, the sole ground giving this court jurisdiction is the prayer seeking to enjoin the performance *229 of a contract, and it appearing from oral statements of counsel made in oral argument before this court that the contract has been fully performed, the question of injunction is moot, and this court is without jurisdiction.
