Does the Court of Appeal have to continue to hear an appeal from an appellant who, as a result of the July 19, 2016 order rendered this appeal moot?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Haynes, A148209 (Cal. App. 2018):
Appellant acknowledged in his opening brief that the July 19, 2016 order rendered this appeal moot but contends we should nevertheless decide it because the important issue it presents "is one likely to recur while evading appellate review [citations] and involves a matter of public interest." (People v. Cheek (2001) 25 Cal.4th 894, 897-898; accord, People v. Dunley (2016) 247 Cal.App.4th 1438, 1442-1443, 1455.)
