Mother appeals from the juvenile court’s order removing her daughter N.T. from her physical custody under Welfare and Institutions Code section 387.1 Mother challenges the court’s finding that its earlier disposition placing N.T. in parents’ joint custody was ineffective in protecting the child, and—to prevent substantial harm to N.T.—it was necessary to remove her from mother’s care. The juvenile court has since terminated its jurisdiction and entered a final juvenile custody order granting sole physical custody of N.T. to father and giving mother monitored visitation rights. Because mother never appealed from those orders, there is no effective relief we can grant her. We thus dismiss the appeal as moot.
