      Mr. Jack Supman, Mr. Judson C. Kistler, Mr. Daniel A. Resneck, Mr. James J. Koselek and Mr. Lee A. Albert, for appellees.
    
      Mr. E. Raymond Morehart, prosecuting attorney, and Mr. S. Farrell Jackson, for appellants.
    
      
       This decision was made aiter the death of Justice ZIMMERMAN and before the appointment of a successor.
    
   Per Curiam.

Inasmuch as it is undisputed by petitioners herein that on the same day of the filing of this action in mandamus, i. e., September 9, 1968, at a regular meeting of the Liberty Union-Thurston Local Board of Education, a resolution providing for the payment of a tutor for Buddy Lyn Whittington was adopted, and further that, pursuant to the terms of this resolution, the services of a qualified tutor were retained by the board on behalf of Buddy Lyn Whittington prior to the hearing of the cause by the Court of Appeals on September 13, 1968; and further that proper accredidation is to be given Buddy Lyn “ Whittington for courses completed, while under tutelage; we find that the respondents had complied in all aspects with the alternative prayer of the petition prior to September 13, 1968.

Therefore, the case was moot as of the date of hearing in the Court of Appeals and the writ should not have issued.

Therefore, we reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals.

Judgment reversed.
