1Opinion of the Court

GRAVES, Presiding Justice,

for the Court:

¶ 1. After a misdemeanor conviction in municipal court, Richard A. Prewitt filed a collateral lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Lafayette County seeking writs of mandamus against the City of Oxford, the municipal court, and the municipal court judge. The City responded with a motion to dismiss and for sanctions. The trial court ultimately granted the City’s motion to dismiss and ordered sanctions. Subsequently, Prewitt filed this appeal. Finding that the issues raised by Prewitt are without merit, we affirm the trial court.
