Judge(s): MOORE, CLAY, and SUTTON, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan at Detroit

PER CURIAM. Charles Furstenau managed the Detroit office of Radiant Global Logistics. When he joined a competitor, Radiant sued him for misappropriation of trade secrets, seeking a preliminary injunction against Furstenau and his new logistics company, BTX Detroit. The district court granted Radiant’s request, enjoining Furstenau and other former Radiant employees from using Radiant’s trade secrets, and from contacting certain customers and carriers for a six-month period. The six-month requirements have come and gone. We dismiss the appeal as moot.
