Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered October 15, 1998

Wright, Lindsey & Jennings LLP, by: John G. Lile and Stephen R. Lancaster, for petitioner.

Winston Bryant, Att’y Gen., by: Tim Humphries, Senior Ass’t Att’y Gen., for respondent.

*559 Oscar Stilley, for intervenor.

Per Curiam.

The petitioner, League of Women Voters of Arkansas, filed this original-action petition asking us to declare insufficient the ballot title for proposed Amendment 4 and to enjoin the respondent, Sharon Priest, the Secretary of the State, from placing proposed Amendment 4 on the ballot for the November 3, 1998 general election. The intervenor, John Hoyle, individually, and on behalf of the Arkansas Taxpayers’ Rights Association, ask us to reject the League’s petition. The issues presented by the League’s petition are rendered moot in light of our holding on this date in Roberts v. Priest, 334 Ark. 503, 975 S.W.2d 850 (1998). Accordingly, this petition is dismissed.
