Grogan v. City of Dawsonville.

Summary

The court held that it had jurisdiction over Grogan's appeal because the denial of his Anti-SLAPP motion was immediately appealable, and the related rulings could be reviewed under the applicable appeal statute. It declined to review Grogan's challenges to his removal because he had lost the subsequent election and sought neither reinstatement nor other available relief, making those issues moot. The court also held that Grogan was not disqualified from future office under the governing statute and that the City could not recover compensation paid for mayoral services actually performed. The court affirmed in part and reversed in part.
