Singh v. Bains CA5
Defendant Gurpaul Singh Bains appeals from a civil harassment restraining order (CHRO) protecting plaintiff Daljit Singh (defendant’s former employer) and plaintiff’s wife and son. Defendant also challenges the denial of his peremptory challenge to the trial judge.
Plaintiff requests this court take judicial notice of a second CHRO issued against defendant and contends this appeal is moot because defendant did not appeal a second CHRO. Plaintiff also contends the peremptory challenge was properly denied as untimely.
We grant plaintiff’s request for judicial notice of the second CHRO. We conclude the appeal of the first CHRO is moot because reversing that CHRO would not give defendant any practical, effective relief because he would still be subject to the second CHRO, which was not appealed.
We therefore dismiss the appeal as moot.
