In re Jocelyn G. CA4/1

DISCUSSION

We grant the Agency's unopposed motion for judicial notice of the court's order of

July 8, 2014, terminating Gloria's parental rights. Gloria did not appeal this order. It is

now final, and her appeal from the court's denial of Heather's section 388 petition is

moot.

When an appeal has become moot the reviewing court must dismiss the appeal.

(In re Ruby T. (1986) 181 Cal.App.3d 1201, 1204.) An appeal becomes moot when,

through no fault of the respondent, the occurrence of an event renders it impossible for

the appellate court to grant the appellant effective relief. (In re Jessica K. (2000) 79

Cal.App.4th 1313, 1315-1316.)

Because the order terminating Gloria's parental rights is final, this court cannot

grant her any effective relief. (In re Albert G. (2003) 113 Cal.App.4th 132, 134-135.)

The appeal is dismissed as moot.

DISPOSITION

The appeal is dismissed.
