City of Highfill; Chris Holland

Summary

The court dismissed Highfill’s direct appeal as moot because the Airport Authority had already filed the detachment petition that Highfill sought to prevent, and appellate relief could not undo that event. It also dismissed the State’s cross-appeal because the interlocutory-appeal rule did not authorize review of the circuit court’s nonoperative comments about a statute’s constitutionality. No separate opinions were filed.
