	This is an interlocutory appeal arising from a district-court order denying issuance
of a temporary injunction.  <EM>See</EM> Tex. Civ. Prac. &amp; Rem. Code § 51.014(a)(4) (West Supp. 2000). 
Appellees have filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for the reason that the district court has
rendered a final judgment in this case.  Appellants acknowledge the district court's final judgment
and do not oppose the dismissal of the appeal.

<P>	"If, while on appeal of the granting or denying of the temporary injunction, the trial
court renders final judgment, the case on appeal becomes moot."  <EM>Isuani v. Manske-Sheffield
Radiology Group, P.A.</EM>, 802 S.W.2d 235, 236 (Tex. 1991); <EM>see also Save Our Springs Alliance,
Inc. v. Austin ISD</EM>, 973 S.W.2d 378, 384 (Tex. App.--Austin 1998, no pet.).  Because there has</P>

<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P>been a final judgment on the merits, appellees' motion to dismiss is granted and the appeal is
dismissed as moot.<EM>  See Isuani</EM>, 802 S.W.2d at 237 (court of appeals should dismiss appeal as
moot as soon as it learns of trial court's final judgment on merits).</P>
