Conservatorship of Marissa S. CA5
At the conclusion of a contested hearing on May 17, 2017, a jury found appellant Marissa S. gravely disabled due to a mental disorder. The trial court placed Marissa S. under a conservatorship with the Kern County Public Guardian (guardian or conservator) pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code sections 5008, subdivision (h)(1)(A), and 5358 of the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act (LPS). The court ordered the termination of the conservatorship on April 25, 2018. Marissa S. contends the trial court improperly relied on testimonial hearsay evidence of an examining physician that her husband was done trying to help or care for her. The conservator responds Marissa S.’s conservatorship is only for one year, terminated on April 25, 2018, and the appeal is now moot. We agree this case is moot, necessitating dismissal of the appeal.
