MEMORANDUM**


2
Gordon Knowles appeals pro se from the district court's denial of his motion for a temporary restraining order in his discrimination action against the University of Hawaii (University) under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq.   The University suggests, and we agree, that the appeal is moot because the underlying case has been dismissed on its merits.   This appeal concerns only whether appellant should have been granted preliminary relief based upon the allegations in his complaint.1   See Planned Parenthood v. State of Ariz., 718 F.2d 938, 949 (9th Cir.1983) (appeal of preliminary injunction mooted by grant of permanent injunction while appeal was pending);   see generally University of Texas v. Camenisch, 451 U.S. 390, 398 (1981).

DISMISSED.

 Because of this, we do not reach either Knowles' contentions on the merits or the University's contention that Knowles' brief is fatally deficient
