Quevedo v. Collins

Pursuant to new Rule 18 of the Rules of this court, we have concluded on the merits that this case is of such character as not to justify oral argument and have directed the clerk to place the case on the Summary Calendar and to notify the parties in writing. See Murphy v. Houma Well Service, 5 Cir., 1969, 409 F.2d 804, Part I. This suit, filed as a class action, was dismissed as being moot because the plaintiff, subsequent to suit, voluntarily moved from the Housing Authority. Eviction without due process was the basis of the suit. See Thorpe v. Housing Authority of City of Durham, 1969, 393 U.S. 268, 89 S. Ct. 518, 21 L. Ed. 2d 474. Two additional tenants, one who had been evicted and one threatened with eviction, sought to intervene. Their petition was also dismissed.
