The trial court's constitutional stay writ, barring City of Miami ordinances 9168 and 9169 from taking effect, was properly issued to preserve the status quo pending resolution of a prior action in circuit court challenging a city appropriation ordinance affecting funding of the retirement system. See City of North Miami v. Engel, 109 So.2d 33 (Fla. 3d DCA 1959), cert. dism., 115 So.2d 1 (Fla. 1959). Art. V, § 5(b), Fla. Const.

Affirmed.
