Plaintiff-appellant Richard Bingaman  appeals pro se from an order denying preliminary injunctive  relief.  While this appeal was pending, the underlying case was  dismissed.  Bingaman has not appealed from the dismissal.   Under the circumstances, the instant appeal is moot, and we  dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.  See Caribbean  Tubular Corp. v. Fernandez Torrecillas (In re Caribbean Tubular  Corp.), 813 F.2d 533, 534 (1st Cir. 1987) (per curiam).            Dismissed.
