Conservatorship of B.W. CA6
After a court trial, appellant B.W. was found to be gravely disabled within the meaning of the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act (LPS Act) (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 5000 et seq.). The court reappointed respondent Public Guardian for Santa Clara County as conservator of the person and estate of appellant. On appeal, appellant contends that the court committed several errors, and that the matter should be remanded for a new trial. While the appeal was pending, appellant’s one-year conservatorship expired. In response to our request for supplemental briefing, the parties agree that the appeal is now moot, although appellant requests that this court nevertheless address each of the issues he raises on appeal. For reasons that we will explain, we will dismiss the appeal.
