The following excerpt is from People v. Palacios, G049365 (Cal. App. 2015):
2. In view of this conclusion, we need not address the Attorney General's argument completion of the incarceration term for the parole violation renders the appeal moot. (See People v. Nolan (2002) 95 Cal.App.4th 1210, 1213 [rejecting mootness challenge to probation revocation order because "[t]he probation violation finding is part of [defendant's] permanent record [and] the appeal affords the opportunity to erase the 'stigma of criminality'"].)
