Missouri Board of Probation and Parole, Respondent. Case Number: No. 54042 Handdown Date: 08/19/1997 Appeal From: Circuit Court of Cole County, Hon. Thomas J. Brown, III Counsel for Appellant: George Lee Vernor, pro se Counsel for Respondent: Stephen D. Hawke Opinion Summary: None Citation: Opinion Author: Per Curiam Opinion Vote: AFFIRMED. Smart, P.J., Lowenstein and Stith, JJ., concur. Opinion: ORDER George Lee Vernor filed a Petition for Declaratory Judgment alleging that the Missouri Board of Probation and Parole erred in failing to afford him a preliminary hearing before extending his conditional release date by 354 days. He appeals the trial court's dismissal of the Petition as moot, claiming that the court below should have reached the merits of his Petition. We have reviewed the parties' briefs and the record on appeal and agree that the trial court properly dismissed the Petition as moot. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, we affirm dismissal of his Petition by this summary order, but have provided the parties with a memorandum opinion, for their information only, setting forth our reasoning. Judgment affirmed. Rule 84.16(b). Separate Opinion: None
