Rehearing and Rehearing En Banc Denied December 13, 1977.

JOHN R. BROWN, Chief Judge:

This lawsuit involves goods, principally liquor, in Customs' bond which were seized from the bonded warehouses in two Texas counties. Due to the voluntary filing of an arrangement under Chapter XI of the Bankruptcy Act, followed by a judicial sale to which all parties consented, we hold that the issue of an earlier-challenged seizure of the liquor is now moot.
