Whether the appeal was moot; B P 7 v. Bureau of State Lottery; Hayford v. Hayford

Since while the appeal was pending, the PPO at issue expired by its express terms, the court held that the appeal was moot and dismissed. Respondent-Barber appealed the trial court's order denying her motion to dismiss the PPO. "An issue is deemed moot when an event occurs that renders it impossible for a reviewing court to grant relief." Respondent did not identify any collateral consequences from the continued existence of the expired PPO.
