MEMORANDUM DECISION

Judge Maurice Portley delivered the decision of the Court, in which Acting Presiding Judge Samuel A. Thumma and Judge Patricia A. Orozco joined. PORTLEY, Judge:

¶1 Armon S. ("Armon") filed an appeal on October 8, 2013, after he was placed on standard probation following the disposition hearing. His appellate counsel filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967), and Maricopa County Juvenile Action No. JV-117258, 163 Ariz. 484, 485-87, 788 P.2d 1235, 1236-38 (App. 1989) on December 6, 2013. Although counsel found no arguable ground for reversal, Armon requested counsel to ensure that the juvenile court would review whether he should be released from probation in February 2014. There was, however, no request to expedite the appeal pursuant to Arizona Rule of Civil Appellate Procedure 29.

¶2 We have reviewed the record and discovered that Armon has been released from juvenile probation. Specifically, and pursuant to the juvenile court's order of September 23, 2013, the juvenile probation officer timely recommended that Armon be released from probation and the court granted Armon's early release from juvenile probation by minute entry dated February 28, 2014. As a result, the sole issue raised was resolved by the juvenile court.

¶3 Moreover, we note that Armon has reached the age of majority. Because, Armon is no longer under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court by virtue of his release from probation and reaching the age of majority, the appeal is dismissed as moot.

We congratulate Armon and wish him well in all future endeavors.
