The opinion
Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,_________________
April 26, 2012
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A12I0192. STATE ELECTION BOARD v. DEBRA BROWN.
The State Election Board sued Debra Brown to enforce an administrative order
directing her to pay a civil penalty for violations of state election law. Brown filed
a counterclaim, which the Board moved to dismiss. The trial court denied the motion
to dismiss, and the Board then filed this application for interlocutory appeal. Two
days later, Brown voluntarily dismissed her counterclaim. Therefore, this application
is hereby DISMISSED as MOOT. See Carlock v. Kmart Corp., 227 Ga. App. 356,
361 (3) (a) (489 SE2d 99) (1997) (a matter is moot when the issues have ceased to
exist).
