The court also ruled that the plaintiffs' request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction were moot."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_30_26_0001-Indian%20Affairs,%20Concho%20Indian%20School,%201974%20July%20-%201978%20Aug/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_26_0013_thumbnail.jpg "Dismissal of Tribal Referendum Lawsuit Due to Lack of Jurisdiction")
