In the Circuit Court for Carroll County IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF MARYLAND No. 6 September Term, 2004 BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FOR CARROLL COUNTY v. JOHN W. PFAFF BUILDERS, INC., ET AL. _____________________________________ No. 40 September Term, 2004 COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FOR CARROLL COUNTY v. FORTY WEST BUILDERS, INC., ET AL. ____________________________________ No. 45 September Term, 2004 COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FOR CARROLL COUNTY v. KOHLER DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION __________________________________ Bell, C.J. Raker Wilner Cathell Harrell Battaglia Greene, JJ. ______________________________________ Per Curiam ______________________________________ Filed: December 3, 2004

We granted certiorari on our own initiative in these three cases and consolidated them for argument to consider the validity of a Carroll County ordinance that imposed a one-year morato rium on the pro cessing of resid ential de velopm ent plan s. By the time we we re able to hear the case, however, the moratorium had expired and was not renewed. The issue we took the cases to decide is therefore m oot, and the re is no indication that it is likely to recur in any kind of similar factual setting, as the basis for the moratorium has, itself, been dealt with by subsequent county legislation. We shall therefore dismiss these appeals.

APPEALS DISMISSED. COSTS TO BE PAID BY CARROLL COUNTY.
