City of Greenwood v. Shadow Lake Association, Inc., A/k/a Shadow Lake Property Owners Association, an Arkansas Non…

Summary

The court dismissed the City's interlocutory appeal as moot because the election at which the challenged annexation ordinances were to appear had already occurred, eliminating any practical legal effect from appellate review. Neither the capable-of-repetition-yet-evading-review exception nor the substantial-public-interest exception applied because the dispute depended on unique facts and was unlikely to recur in a manner that would evade review. No separate opinions were filed.
