J.-M. C. filed a reform appeal to the Federal Tribunal against a Geneva civil judgment involving several respondents and a foundation. The Federal Tribunal had already admitted a parallel public-law appeal against the same cantonal decision. As a result, the reform appeal was held to have lost its object and was struck from the docket. The court ordered J.-M. C. to pay a judicial fee of CHF 5,000 and awarded no costs to the respondents, since they had not been invited to respond.
Art. 156 al. 6 OJ; appeal rendered without object by the admission of a parallel remedy: when a concurrently filed public-law appeal leads to the setting aside or ineffectiveness of the same cantonal judgment, the reform appeal lacks any remaining practical purpose and must be struck from the roll. In such a case the costs are borne by the appellant, since the proceeding became unnecessary; no party costs are awarded to respondents who were not invited to file observations (consid. 1).

(succession)
Vu :
le recours en réforme interjeté par J.-M. C.________ contre l'arrêt rendu le 11 décembre 1998 par la Chambre civile de la Cour de justice du canton de Genève dans la cause qui divise le recourant d'avec les neuf intimés susmentionnés;
considérant:
que par arrêt du 27 mars 2000, la IIe Cour civile du Tribunal fédéral a admis le recours de droit public formé parallèlement par J.-M. C.________ contre la même décision cantonale;
que le présent recours en réforme a par conséquent perdu son objet;
que ce procédé s'étant révélé inutile, il y a lieu de mettre les frais judiciaires à la charge du recourant (art. 156 al. 6 OJ; Messmer/Imboden, Die eidgenössischen Rechtsmittel in Zivilsachen, Zurich 1992, ch. 27 p. 36), sans allouer de dépens aux intimés, qui n'ont pas été invités à répondre au recours;
Par ces motifs,
le Tribunal fédéral,
vu les art. 40 OJ et 72 PCF:
Déclare le recours sans objet et raye l'affaire du rôle.
Met à la charge du recourant un émolument judiciaire de 5'000 fr.
Communique le présent arrêt en copie aux mandataires des parties et à la Chambre civile de la Cour de justice du canton de Genève.

Whether the reform appeal still had a subject matter after the parallel public-law appeal was admitted
The reform appeal had become without object and was removed from the docket.
Because the Federal Tribunal had already admitted the parallel public-law appeal against the same cantonal decision, the reform appeal no longer had any practical purpose.
Who bears the court costs after the appeal became unnecessary
The appellant must bear the judicial fee because the proceeding became unnecessary.
Under Art. 156 al. 6 OJ, costs are imposed on the appellant when the appeal proves useless; no costs were awarded to the respondents because they were not invited to file observations.
