Morin v. City Council of Warwick

Supreme Court of Rhode Island

153 A.2d 153 (R.I. 1959)

Opinion

July 13, 1959.

PRESENT: Condon, C.J., Roberts, Paolino, Powers and Frost, JJ.

Where petitioners for writ of certiorari obtained relief they sought in another proceeding it would be unnecessary to consider instant petition and it would be dismissed. (See Morin v. Zoning Board of Review, 89 R.I. 406).

PETITION FOR CERTIORARI to review action of city council of Warwick in enacting zoning ordinance. Petition dismissed and writ theretofore issued quashed.

Walter I. Sundlun, for petitioners.

Ralph T. Lewis, Jr., City Solicitor, Robert H. Breslin, Jr., Donald P. Ryan, Ass't City Solicitors, for respondents.


This is a petition for certiorari to review the action of the city council of the city of Warwick in enacting a zoning ordinance prohibiting automotive business uses in a general business district unless a subdistrict confined to those uses is designated by the city council within such district.

We issued the writ and respondents complied therewith, but since the petitioners by our opinion filed this day in Morin v. Zoning Board of Review, 89 R.I. 406, have obtained the relief they sought it is unnecessary to consider the instant petition.

The petition for certiorari is therefore dismissed and the writ heretofore issued is quashed.
