July 6, 2018 · District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District · Case No. 2D17–2916

247 So. 3d 720

FLORIDA CITIZENS ALLIANCE, INC., a Florida not for profit corporation, Douglas Lewis, Brantley Oakey, and Eric Konuk, Appellants,
v.
The SCHOOL BOARD OF COLLIER COUNTY, Appellee.

Case No. 2D17-2916

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

Opinion filed July 6, 2018.

Brantley Oakey, Naples; and Steven J. Bracci of Steven J. Bracci, P.A., Naples for Appellants.

Christopher D. Donovan and James D. Fox of Roetzel & Andress, LPA, Naples, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Dismissed as moot. See Lund v. Dep't of Health, 708 So.2d 645, 646 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998) ("The general rule in Florida is that a case on appeal becomes moot when a change in circumstances occurs before an appellate court's decision, thereby making it impossible for the court to provide effectual relief."); see also Freni v. Collier County, 573 So.2d 1054, 1054 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991) ("The appellants sought to enjoin a referendum scheduled to be held on the issue of whether the Board of County Commissioners ... should levy a tourist development tax .... [T]he trial court denied the appellants' motion for a temporary injunction [and t]his appeal ensued .... The referendum was held as scheduled ... and resulted in a favorable vote. Therefore, the issue of whether the court erred in denying the motion for temporary injunction is moot.").

Dismissed.
