The bank also asked that Google be required to disclose whether the account was dormant or active and whether the e-mail had been opened or "otherwise manipulated." In the event the account was active, the order said, Google was required to turn over the identity and the contact information of the account holder to the bank. A hearing on a preliminary injunction was scheduled for today.

It was not immediately clear what information Google provided to the bank in response to the court s order. But soon after Ware s restraining order was issued, both Google and the bank filed a joint motion asking the court to vacate it. In their motion, both parties informed the judge that the restraining order had become moot because of certain information that Google had provided to the court.

The motion did not specify what information Google had provided, but said that in light of Google s action, there was no longer any need for the restraining order. The motion also asked the court to give Google permission to reactivate the account and allow the user access to it.

Representatives from Google and Rocky Mountain Bank could not be immediately reached for comment.
