Opinion
NOT TO BE PUBLISHED IN OFFICIAL REPORTS
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Super. Ct. No. J215576 Francis M. Devaney, Judge.
HUFFMAN, Actisng P. J.
Johnny S., who lives with his family in Mexico, entered a negotiated admission to importing marijuana in excess of 28.5 grams into California (Health & Saf. Code, § 11360, subd. (a)). The juvenile court sentenced Johnny to Camp Barrett for a period not to exceed 365 days, suspended execution of the sentence and placed Johnny on probation, conditioned on his not returning to the United States before his next court hearing.
On November 20, 2007, Johnny appeared in court for his six-month review hearing. The court found Johnny had complied with the terms of his probation and terminated jurisdiction. This rendered Johnny's appeal moot.
We grant appellate counsel's unopposed motion for judicial notice of the minute order for November 27, 2007. (Evid. Code, § 459, subd. (a).)
A case is moot when any ruling by this court "can have no practical impact or provide appellants effectual relief." (Downtown Palo Alto Com. for Fair Assessment v. City Council (1986) 180 Cal.App.3d 384, 391.) "Although a case may originally present an existing issue . . . if, before decision is reached, it has, through acts of the parties or other cause, lost that existent character, it is rendered moot and may not be considered." (National Assn. of Wine Bottlers v. Paul (1969) 268 Cal.App.2d 741, 746.)
DISPOSITION
The appeal is dismissed.
