Analysis

No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.

Opinion

This is an action by a taxpayer to enjoin the carrying out of a certain purchase agreement entered into between the city of Los Angeles and the Southern California Edison Company. In his reply brief the appellant states:

"Notwithstanding the fact that pending this appeal the so-called 'purchase agreement,' the subject of this litigation, has been carried into effect, and under the circumstances the questions urged upon this appeal have become moot and purely academic, counsel desires to submit this case upon its merits."

The case having become moot, the appeal is dismissed.

Wilbur, C. J., Lawlor, J., Lennon, J., Seawell, J., Kerrigan, J., and Waste, J., concurred.
