Accordingly, a trial judge will not be reversed for failing to act on a matter that was not submitted to him.
Appellant asserts that there was insufficient evidence to support the denial of his petition. This Court finds that there was ample supporting evidence. Testimony at the hearing revealed the following '(a) law enforcement officers in the area had constant problems with public...
