Certain Martinsville Annexation Territory Landowners v. City of Martinsville

OPINION

KIRSCH, Judge.

The Appellants are remonstrators (“the Remonstrators”) who appeal the trial court’s order denying their remonstrance, affirming the City of Martinsville’s (“the City”) annexation ordinance, and approving the annexation of certain land surrounding the City. The Remonstrators raise several issues on appeal; however, we find the following issue dispositive: whether the appeal should be dismissed as moot because the annexation has become final, and there is no effective relief that this court can render to the Remon-strators.

We dismiss.
