PER CURIAM.

1

Sun Company, Inc., and Oryx Energy Company appeal the order of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware dismissing their claims against the United States for damages and other monetary relief on the ground of sovereign immunity. No. 83-204-RRM (D.Del. Jan. 26, 1993). This court has now decided in Texas American Oil Corp. v. United States Dept. of Energy, No. 93-1152, --- F.3d ---- (Fed.Cir.1995) (en banc), to adopt the precedent of the Temporary Emergency Court of Appeals, whose jurisdiction we inherited, as binding. See also South Corp. v. United States, 690 F.2d 1368 (Fed.Cir.1983). This case has been held pending that determination. Accordingly, on the basis of the district court's opinion, we affirm.
