## Opinion text

MURDOCK, Justice
(concurring specially).
I concur in the dismissal of the appeals on subject-matter-jurisdiction grounds because the decision by the judicial branch in this particular case, if allowed to stand, would represent not a vindication of some substantive or procedural legal right held by those who were not promoted, but a usurpation by the judicial branch of the discretionary executive authority delegated to the Civil Service Board of the City of Florence.
