ORDER AND JUDGMENT

ROBERT E. BACHARACH, Circuit Judge.

The appellants challenge the presence of a Ten Commandments monument on the grounds of the Oklahoma State Capitol. During the pendency of the appeal, however, the Oklahoma Supreme Court held that the monument violates the state constitution. Prescott v. Okla. Capitol Pres, Comm’n, — P.3d -, 2015 OK 54, 2015 WL 3982750 (Okla. July 27, 2015). The monument was ultimately removed roughly two months ago. Accordingly, the ap-pellees move to dismiss this appeal as moot, arguing that no case or controversy remains for us to decide.

Though the appellants did not respond to the motion to dismiss, they conceded in their reply brief that the case may have become moot. We agree with the appel-lees, concluding that the action is moot now that the monument has been removed from the state capitol. Thus, we grant the appellees’ motion and dismiss the appeal.

The Court has determined that oral argument would not materially aid our consideration of the appeal. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). Thus, we have decided the appeal based on the briefs.

This order and judgment does not constitute binding precedent except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. But our order and judgment may be cited for its persuasive value under Fed. R.App. P. 32.1(a) and 10th Cir. R. 32.1(A).
