¶2

ORDERED by the Court that, the statutory period for the existence of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights as presently constituted having expired, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1975c(d), the judgment of the district court is vacated and this cause is remanded to the district court with directions to dismiss the suit as moot. See United States v. Munsingwear, Inc., 340 U.S. 36, 39, 71 S.Ct. 104, 106, 95 L.Ed. 36 (1950); Great Western Sugar Co. v. Nelson, 442 U.S. 92, 93-94, 99 S.Ct. 2149, 2149-50, 60 L.Ed.2d 735 (1979) (per curiam). In Kalaris v. Donovan, 697 F.2d 376, 389-401 (D.C.Cir.), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 103 S.Ct. 3088, 77 L.Ed.2d 1349 (1983), this court most recently visited the delicate area of tenure of office. There is no occasion to reaffirm any of its teachings in the case sub judice.
