California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. H.L., E060896 (Cal. App. 2015):
Because defendant is no longer committed pursuant to the order which she challenges in this appeal, her appeal is moot. Any decision we would reach on defendant's claims on appeal would have no affect whatsoever on her, therefore we shall dismiss her appeal. (People v. Gregerson (2011) 202 Cal.App.4th 306, 321.)
Defendant's appeal is dismissed.
