Opinion

PER CURIAM.

This is a mandamus action brought in the district court of Delaware county by defendant in error, B. F. Cockrell, sheriff of said county, against plaintiffs in error, John H. Gibson, Calvin Duncan, and A. P. Keith, who constitute the board of county commissioners of said county, to compel said board to approve the appointment of G. C. Monroe as field deputy.

Judgment was rendered in favor of defendant in error, and said commissioners directed to approve said appointment, and the commissioners appeal.

The term of office of Commissioners Gibson and Keith expired on the first day of July, 19-25, and S. B. Rossell and J. W.. Walker were elected in their place and stead. On the first'day of February, 1920, defendant in error submitted the appointment of Monroe, as deputy, to the board as now constituted, which was, by it, duly approved. Defendant in error now moves this court to dismiss the appeal on the ground that the questions involved have become moot. The term of office of two members of the old board having expired, they no longer have any interest in the matter, and the new board having approved the appoin'-ment, there is nothing to be determined, and the matter involved is moot.

The appeal is dismissed.
