INTRODUCTION

Nefertiti Pirrie appeals from a domestic violence restraining order issued May 29, 2013 pursuant to the Domestic Violence Prevention Act (Fam. Code, § 6200 et seq.). Because the restraining order expired while this appeal was pending, we dismiss the appeal as moot.

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

Pirrie and Jerry Campbell had a dating relationship, and they have one adult son. On April 16, 2013, several years after they separated, Campbell filed an application for a domestic violence restraining order against Pirrie. Campbell alleged that Pirrie had repeatedly appeared at Campbell’s house threatening to run him over with her car and stab him with a knife and a pair of scissors. Campbell sought a restraining order to prevent Pirrie from harassing or contacting him and requiring her to stay at least 100 yards from him, his home, and his car. On May 7, 2013 the trial court continued the hearing on Campbell’s application for a restraining order because Campbell had not yet served Pirrie. At the May 29, 2013 hearing, at which Pirrie did not appear, Campbell submitted a proof of service indicating that on May 22, 2013 Campbell had served Pirrie with the application and given notice of the hearing. The court held the hearing and issued a one-year restraining order. On November 18, 2013 Pirrie filed a notice of appeal. The restraining order expired on May 29, 2014, while this appeal was pending.
