U.S. Supreme Court
American Book Co. v. Kansas ex Rel. Nichols, 193 U.S. 49 (1904)
American Book Co. v. Kansas ex Rel. Nichols
No. 128
Argued January 15, 18, 1904
Decided February 23, 1904
193 U.S. 49
Syllabus
It is the duty of this Court to decide actual controversies by a judgment which can be carried into effect, and not to give opinions upon moot questions or abstract propositions of law.
When it appears either on the record, or by extrinsic evidence, that the judgment sought to be reviewed has, pending the appeal, and without fault of the defendant in error, been complied with, this Court will not proceed to final judgment, but will dismiss the appeal or writ of error.
The facts are stated in the opinion of the Court.
