California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Idleman v. Christodoro, B284734 (Cal. App. 2021):

^[5] Christodoro did not present in the trial court or timely ask this court to consider any evidence to demonstrate his appeal is not moot. (Cf. In re K.M. (2015) 242 Cal.App.4th 450, 456 [Postjudgment evidence may... be used to show that the appeal, or an issue involved, is moot.]; Long v. Hultberg (1972) 27 Cal.App.3d 606, 608 [appellate courts may consider evidence when it shows that events occurring after judgment and notice of appeal have rendered the appeal moot].)
