Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia.
Before RONEY, GEE and FAY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
[1] Appellant asserts that collateral consequences of his civil contempt conviction for refusing to furnish handwriting exemplars to a grand jury — the tolling of a previous sentence being served by him — prevent a subsequent order vacating that conviction from thereby rendering this appeal moot. Agreeing, we affirm the conviction. United States v. Mara, 410 U.S. 19, 93 S.Ct. 774,35 L.Ed.2d 99 (1973); cf. United States v. Dionisio, 410 U.S. 1,93 S.Ct. 764, 35 L.Ed.2d 67 (1973).
