APPEAL from orders of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Annabelle G. Cortez, Judge. Appeal dismissed.

Konrad S. Lee, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. Rodrigo A. Castro-Silva, County Counsel, Kim Nemoy, Assistant County Counsel, Jacklyn K. Louie, Deputy County Counsel, for Plaintiff and Respondent. _______________________________ 1 In this dependency case (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 300 et seq.), Genesis B. (Mother) challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the juvenile court’s jurisdictional findings against her under section 300, subdivisions (a) and (b) that she engaged in a violent altercation with the father of her five-year-old son, in the 2 child’s presence. She also challenges the juvenile court’s dispositional orders, including removal of her son from her custody.3 While this appeal was pending, the juvenile court terminated dependency jurisdiction and awarded Mother and 4 Father joint legal and physical custody of their son. Mother has not appealed from the order terminating jurisdiction and awarding joint custody. As explained below, her appeal challenging the jurisdictional and dispositional findings is moot
