Opinion

No. 12815

Opinion Filed January 22, 1924.

(Syllabus.)

Appeal and Error — Dismissal — Moot Questions.

When an injunction suit is filed in the district court and judgment rendered against the plaintiff, and, pending appeal in this court, the question involved in the case has become moot and no particular relief can be afforded plaintiff in the action, and no particular relief could follow a determination of the issues involved on the appeal, the appeal will be dismissed.

Error from District Court, Wagoner County; Guy F. Nelson, Judge.

Action by John Massey and others against School District No. 58, of Wagoner County, and others. Judgment for defendants, and plaintiffs bring error. Dismissed.

E.L. Kirby, E.J. Broaddus, and T.M. Markley, for plaintiffs in error.

Watts Watts, for defendants in error.


This action was filed to enjoin the issuance and sale of certain bonds of school district No. 58, of Wagoner county, Okla., which were authorized at a special election held for that purpose on August 26, 1921. Pending the appeal in this court, funds have been raised in another way for the purpose for which the bonds were voted, and the school board of the district has adopted a resolution rescinding all proceedings relative to the issuance of the bonds and canceling the bond issue. In these circumstances the issues now presented to this court are abstract and hypothetical, and no particular relief can be afforded plaintiff in the action, and for that reason the appeal should be dismissed, and it is so ordered.

JOHNSON, C. J., and McNEILL, NICHOLSON, and HARRISON, JJ., concur.
