1Opinion of the CourtSpallone, J.

The plaintiff appeals from the trial court’s decision granting the defendant a writ of audita querela1 that stayed the execution of the judgment of immediate possession in a summary process action.

*520The plaintiff claims that the trial court improperly (1) granted the writ of audita querela based on a previously adjudicated issue, (2) granted the equitable remedy of audita querela where the defendant had “unclean hands,” (3) granted a second writ of audita querela, and (4) violated the plaintiffs federal constitutional rights. We do not review these claims because this appeal is moot.
