Supreme Court of Arkansas October 26, 2000, 99-1428 (Robinson v. Taylor)

Annabelle Clinton Imber, Justice.

This is an appeal from the trial court’s denial of a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the mayor of the City of Pine Bluff to pay a retirement benefit to a former mayor of that city pursuant to Ark. Code Ann. § 24-12-123 (Supp. 1999). We affirm the trial court’s denial of the writ of mandamus.
