In Roscoe v. Goodale (1951) 105 Cal.App.2d 271, the court dismissed for mootness an appeal from an order denying a writ of mandate. The acting city engineer of Eureka sought a writ requiring the city to rescind a resolution for the improvement of public works and to cause the improvement to be carried out through other procedures. "It appears, without contradiction, from the documents and records filed in support of the motion to dismiss the appeal, that the contract and work referred to in the resolution and petition have been completed and accepted and paid for by the city of Eureka, and that even if we should agree with the main contention of petitioner and appellant, there is nothing that could be accomplished now by the issuance of a writ of mandamus." ( Id. at p. 273.) The court concluded the question on appeal was moot and granted the motion to dismiss.
