In re W.T. CA1/2
At all pertinent times, W.T., a dependent child within the jurisdiction of the Alameda County Family Court, was placed with Dawn H. These consolidated appeals present a single issue: while W.T. was a dependent child placed with Dawn H., was the Alameda County Social Services Agency (Agency) required to make monthly payments to Dawn H. for W.T.’s care? Thus, and unlike the overwhelming majority of dependency appeals, all that is in dispute here is money—who gets it, who must pay it, indeed whether it must be paid at all. These appeals are also noteworthy because they have been overtaken by events. In fact, the circumstances that have unfolded since entry of the orders the Agency wishes reviewed have rendered the controversy moot. And we thus dismiss the appeals.
