In re: Amanda Busby v. City of Tuskegee

Summary

The court held that the plaintiffs’ claims challenging the legality of Tuskegee’s automated-enforcement ordinance were moot because the plaintiffs had accepted liability or failed to use the prescribed administrative process, and the City later voided citations, offered refunds, and ceased enforcement. The court declined to order dismissal of the tort claims because the alleged injuries were independent of the traffic fines and the defendants had not established mootness or another jurisdictional defect through mandamus. The court also denied JENOPTIK relief on personal-jurisdiction grounds because its unsupported assertions did not overcome the complaint’s jurisdictional allegations and contractual evidence.
