SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION FIVE

In re MATTHEW G. et al., Persons B263497 Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. DK05978)

LOS ANGELES COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES,

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

C.M.,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Teresa T. Sullivan, Judge. Dismissed. Marsha F. Levine, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. Mary C. Wickham, Interim County Counsel, Dawyn R. Harrison, Assistant County Counsel, and Jeanette Cauble, Senior Deputy County Counsel, for Plaintiff and Respondent.

The father, Charles M., appeals from a dispositional order in a dependency matter. While the appeal was pending, the dispositional order was vacated. This had the effect of vacating family maintenance and counseling and parenting class orders. As the father’s appeal is moot, we order its dismissal. In response to this state of affairs, the Department of Children and Family Services moved to dismiss the appeal on mootness grounds. The father now agrees that the appeal is moot. We can provide the father no effectual relief and thus have no jurisdiction over this matter because all of his contentions are now moot. (Eye Dog Foundation v.
