UNPUBLISHED OPINION
Submitted January 1, 2016
Appeal From Greenville County Charles B. Simmons, Jr., Special Circuit Court Judge
Brian Patrick Murphy, of Stephenson & Murphy, LLC, of Greenville, for Appellant.
Christine Gantt Sorenson, Sarah Patrick Spruill, and Denny Parker Major, all of Haynsworth Sinkler Boyd, PA, of Greenville, for Respondents.
PER CURIAM
We find the question regarding the propriety of the injunction issued by the circuit court to be moot. See Sloan v. Greenville Cty., 380 S.C. 528, 535, 670 S.E.2d 663, 667 (Ct. App. 2009) ("An appellate court will not pass judgment on moot and academic questions; it will not adjudicate a matter when no actual controversy capable of specific relief exists."); see also Mathis v. S.C. State Highway Dep't, 260 S.C. 344, 346, 195 S.E.2d 713, 715 (1973) ("A case becomes moot when judgment, if rendered, will have no practical legal effect upon existing controversy. This is true when some event occurs making it impossible for [the] reviewing [c]ourt to grant effectual relief.").
We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
FEW, C. J., and KONDUROS and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.
