Before MICHAEL, TRAXLER, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
M. Rodney Jones, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
M. Rodney Jones appeals the district court’s order dismissing
his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint. Following the filing of
Jones’ notice of appeal, but before the appeal was docketed in this
court, the district court vacated its order of dismissal pursuant
to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(a), thereby leaving this court with no order
to review. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. 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
