United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.

Decided November 4, 1992.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Ina P. Schiff pro se.

Max Wistow, with whom Michael H. Feldhuhn, Wistow & Barylick Inc., Thomas J. McAndrew, James E. O'Neil, Atty. Gen., and Robin E. Feder, Providence, R.I., were on joint brief, for defendants-appellees Walter E. Stone, Lionel J. Benjamin and State of R.I.

Before TORRUELLA, Circuit Judge, BROWN, Senior Circuit Judge, and STAHL, Circuit Judge.


TORRUELLA, Circuit Judge.

This case is before us in an unusual posture because all parties have settled the merits of the underlying disputes. There only remains a matter raised by the former attorney of one of those parties. We are thus presented with a narrow decisional issue: whether there is an appropriate appellate controversy to be passed upon by this court. For reasons hereinafter stated, we rule in the negative and dismiss the appeal.
