In re C.A. CA3

DISCUSSION

“ ‘ “[A]n action that originally was based on a justiciable controversy cannot be maintained on appeal if all the questions have become moot by subsequent acts or events. A reversal in such a case would be without practical effect, and the appeal will therefore be dismissed.” ’ ” (People v. DeLong (2002) 101 Cal.App.4th 482, 486.) Minor’s present appeal challenges the juvenile court’s decision to maintain his secure placement at the six-month review hearing. The juvenile court has since terminated that placement and placed minor with his parents. Because the relief minor seeks in this appeal has been granted, no further relief is available in this court. Minor’s appeal must therefore be dismissed as moot. (In re N.S. (2016) 245 Cal.App.4th 53, 58-59 [“An appellate court will dismiss an appeal where an event occurs that renders it impossible for the court to grant effective relief”].)
