Does the Court have any authority to remand the matter back to the trial court?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Resendiz, H040803 (Cal. App. 2015):
Appellate courts do not review issues that are moot and of only academic importance. (People v. Hamilton (1968) 258 Cal.App.2d 511, 515.) Assuming that we find defendant's claims have merit and the court improperly found that his prior juvenile adjudication was a strike, remanding the matter back to the trial court would have no effect and would be an idle act.
