Cal. Dept. of State Hosptials at Coalinga v. Moore
Ardell Moore is an adjudicated sexually violent predator over whom the Department of State Hospitals (DSH) has custody pursuant to the Sexually Violent Predator Act (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 6600 et seq.). Moore resides at a DSH facility in Coalinga, where he receives treatment for previously diagnosed mental disorders. He appeals from an order requiring him to submit to involuntary administration of psychotropic medication. However, the order in question was only valid for one year and expired on February 1, 2017. Accordingly, and for the following reasons, we dismiss the appeal as moot.
