IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION THREE
| THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. JOSE PENA-HERNANDEZ, Defendant and Appellant. | A109426 (Marin County Super. Ct. No. SC 139367) |
Jose Pena-Hernandez appeals from the trial court's orders authorizing involuntary psychotropic medication and denying his request for a hearing pursuant to People v. Marsden (1970) 2 Cal.3d 118 after he was found incompetent to stand trial. The orders were entered in March 2005.
In January 2006, after the appeal was fully briefed, appellate counsel wrote to the court, reporting he had learned that appellant had been declared competent and entered guilty pleas to all or some of the charged offenses. Appellant had been sentenced, and was currently in the custody of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The issues raised by the appeal are therefore moot, and we lack jurisdiction to consider them further. (Finnie v. Town of Tiburon (1988) 199 Cal.App.3d 1, 10.)
DISPOSITION
The appeal is dismissed as moot.
