| Court | Georgia Supreme Court |
Miles B. Sams, East Point, for plaintiff in error.
William B. Jones, Fairburn, for defendant in error. Syllabus Opinion by the Court.
This is an action for mandamus to require the municipal authorities of the City of Fairburn to re-issue a revoked beer license for the year 1964 which expires in January 1965. The exception is to the denial of the petition after a hearing. Under Code Ann. § 58-716 (Ga.L.1935,[220 Ga. 671] p. 76) the license is an annual license, and since the period of time for which the license would be effective expired in January 1965, the case thereupon became moot. Abernathy v. Dorsey, 189 Ga. 72, 5 S.E.2d 39; Cravey v. Bankers Life & Casualty Co., 209 Ga. 273, 71 S.E.2d 659.
Writ of error dismissed.
All the Justices concur.
