Text: Currie petitioned the City of Hattiesburg for the rezoning of Currie West from residential to commercial. Protests were filed by numerous people. The Mayor and Board of Commissioners of the City (hereinafter City Council) denied the petition for rezoning, and Currie appealed to the Circuit Court of Forrest County, Mississippi, where the order of the City Council was affirmed. Currie appealed to this Court. The City of Hattiesburg confessed error in its brief, and in the oral argument it was announced in open court that the protestants had no objection to the rezoning of Currie West to Bennett Street on the west. There being no opposition to the rezoning of this property to the extent stated, and the City of Hattiesburg having confessed error to such extent, the order of the City Council is vacated and annulled and the matter of rezoning Currie West to Bennett Street is remanded to the City Council for the adoption of a rezoning ordinance with such provisions as the municipal authorities deem appropriate.
