Westbrooks , 99 So.3d 128 , 134 (¶ 17) (Miss. 2012), the Court explained: "While the existence of a residency requirement was a question of law suitable for summary review by a circuit judge, the question of whether a candidate meets the residency requirement clearly involves questions of fact." The remainder of Bryant's appeal is based on the circuit court's factual finding that Dickerson was a resident of Sunflower County and such factual finding is not subject to the Court's review pursuant to Section 23-15-933 CONCLUSION ¶ 11. | 2 | 4 |
