Court Orders Dismissing:

MATTHEW G. BEVIN, IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY AS GOVERNOR OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY V.  ANDY BESHEAR, IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY AS ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY

We granted transfer from the Court of Appeals of Governor Matthew G. Bevin’s appeal from the circuit court’s final judgment and grant of permanent injunctive relief. The circuit·court sustained the Attorney challenge to ”’ the Governor’s. authority under Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) 12.028 to abolish and reorganize the University of Louisville Board of Trustees and permanently enjoined the Governor from implementing the Executive Orders issued June 17, 2016, in connection with his effort. After thorough review of the briefs and an oral argument, we hold that intervening statutory law enacted by the General. Assembly has rendered moot . the legal issues decided by the Circuit court. We dismiss the appeal and.remand the case to the circuit court with directions to dismiss the complaint with prejudice. 

ALL SITTING. ALL CONCUR.
