Reasons
Per Fry CJ. (Robles and Vanzi JJ. concurring):
The Court of Appeals issued a notice of proposed summary disposition, suggesting that the appeal should be dismissed due to the absence of a final order and because the issues raised were moot. The Plaintiffs filed a memorandum in support of this proposed analysis, agreeing with the Court's reasoning. Consequently, the Court dismissed the appeal and, in a separate order, denied the Plaintiffs' motion to consolidate this appeal with another case. (paras [DS 2], [MIS 2-3])
