In re I.A. CA2/8
M.A. (mother) appeals the juvenile court’s jurisdiction and disposition orders declaring her three-year-old daughter I.A. a dependent of the court and removing her from mother’s care. While this appeal was pending, the juvenile court terminated jurisdiction over I.A. and the Department of Children and Family Services (Department) moved to dismiss the appeal as moot. We agree with the Department that the appeal from the disposition order is moot. However, we exercise our discretion to reach the merits of mother’s appeal as to the jurisdiction order, and conclude that substantial evidence supports the order. On these grounds, we dismiss in part and affirm in part.
