McDaniel v. Ezell

MURDOCK, Justice

(concurring specially).

I concur in the dismissal of the appeals on subject-matter-jurisdiction grounds because the decision by the judicial branch in this particular case, if allowed to stand, would represent not a vindication of some substantive or procedural legal right held by those who were not promoted, but a usurpation by the judicial branch of the discretionary executive authority delegated to the Civil Service Board of the City of Florence.
