Is defendant's appeal moot because the order committing him during the pendency of this appeal has expired?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Hickman, C074848 (Cal. App. 2014):
3. The People do not argue defendant's appeal is moot, despite the expiration of the order committing him during the pendency of this appeal. As defendant urges, we reach the issues because "our decision may still affect the lower court's right to continue jurisdiction under the original commitment as well as [any] recommitment." (People v. Fernandez (1999) 70 Cal.App.4th 117, 134-135.)
