Medlin v. Mickle

*552Hall, Justice.

Appellant filed suit for a writ of mandamus and a declaratory judgment contending that Ga. L. 1977, p. 1236, is invalid. That statute authorizes consolidated governments to permit the sales of alcoholic beverages from 11:55 p. m. on each Saturday night until 1:55 a. m. Sunday morning. This authority was exercised by the passage of an ordinance by the City of Columbus. If appellant’s contentions are correct, sales occurring after midnight would be illegal despite the ordinance. Code § 58-1060. Appellant’s complaint was dismissed before trial for lack of standing.
