OPINION OF THE COURT

PER CURIAM:

1

Events which have transpired since the entry of the Orders appealed from at Appeals Nos. 16679, 16680 and 16685 establish beyond question that the questions they present have become moot and these appeals will be dismissed for that reason.

2

The Appeal at No. 16681 is from the entry of an Order which is clearly interlocutory and it will be dismissed for the reason that it is not an appealable Order.
