1Opinion of the Court

Wm. C. HETHERINGTON, JR., Vice-Chief Judge.

T1 Thomas Morris (Morris) appeals an order of the trial court sustaining the finding of McLoud's city clerk, A. Kay Heinz (Clerk), that MeLoud Initiative Petition #2010-2 (the Petition) was insufficient. We conclude the Petition is an untimely referendum, it violates constitutional due process of the landowners in the area proposed for de-an-nexation, and is not the proper method to achieve the de-annexation sought. The order sustaining Clerk's finding of insufficiency is AFFIRMED.
