LOS ANGELES COUNTY v. DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL WELFARE (1952)

District Court of Appeal, Second District, Division 3, California.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY v. DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL WELFARE et al.

Civ. 18503.

Decided: November 26, 1952

Harold W. Kennedy, County Counsel, Gerald G. Kelly, Asst. County Counsel, and John B. Anson, Deputy County Counsel, Los Angeles, for petitioner and appellant. Edmund G. Brown, Atty. Gen., and Lee B. Stanton, Deputy Atty. Gen., for respondents. Kenny & Morris and Eleanor V. Jackson, Los Angeles, for intervenors and respondents.

The County of Los Angeles appeals from a judgment of the superior court denying its petition for a writ of mandamus. This is a companion case to Los Angeles County v. Department of Social Welfare, Cal.App., 250 P.2d 708. This case was referred to in the ninth paragraph of that opinion.

After the Social Welfare Board had assumed jurisdiction of the eleven appeals referred to in the companion case, and before the date set for the hearings on those appeals, the County of Los Angeles filed the petition herein for a writ of mandate commanding said board to set aside its order that it had jurisdiction in the matter of said appeals, and to enter an order that it does not have such jurisdiction. The petition was denied. Thereafter said board proceeded with said hearings and made its findings and orders therein.

It is not necessary to discuss the contentions made upon this appeal. By reason of the decision of this court in the companion case, the questions presented upon this appeal are moot.

The appeal is dismissed.

WOOD, Justice.

SHINN, P. J., and VALLÉE, J., concur.
