Supreme Court of Alabama
In re: Amanda Busby v. City of Tuskegee
July 2, 2026
Summary
The court granted the consolidated mandamus petitions in part and directed dismissal of the plaintiffs' claims challenging the legality of Tuskegee's automated traffic-enforcement ordinance because the plaintiffs had accepted liability or failed to invoke the ordinance's review process, and later resolutions nullified the citations and ended enforcement. The court held that the plaintiffs' independent tort claims were not shown to be moot and that their general viability could not be reviewed by mandamus. It also denied relief on JENOPTIK's personal-jurisdiction argument because the record was insufficient to establish a clear right to dismissal.
