Parks v. Stynchcombe

Supreme Court of Georgia

192 S.E.2d 335 (Ga. 1972)

Opinion

27329.

SUBMITTED JULY 11, 1972.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 8, 1972.

Habeas corpus. Fulton Superior Court. Before Judge Alverson.

John David Parks, pro se. Lewis R. Slaton, District Attorney, Joseph J. Drolet, Joel M. Feldman, for appellee.


In this appeal from the denial of the writ of habeas corpus, the petitioner alleged that his confinement was illegal for stated reasons. The respondent denied the essential allegations of the petition. However, it appears that the appellant has been fully discharged from custody during the pendency of this appeal, and therefore the issue involved in the denial of the writ of habeas corpus is now moot. See Cook v. Lowry, 148 Ga. 516 ( 97 S.E. 440); Harris v. Chappell, 219 Ga. 522 ( 133 S.E.2d 855).

The motion to dismiss the appeal is meritorious.

Appeal dismissed. All the Justices concur.


SUBMITTED JULY 11, 1972 — DECIDED SEPTEMBER 8, 1972.
