STATE OF MICHIGAN
COURT OF APPEALS
KRISTY K. ARIM,
UNPUBLISHED
April 28, 2000
Plaintiff-Appellant,
v
No. 217719
Ottawa Circuit Court
LC No. 97 027768 DZ
WILLIAM S. ARIM,
Defendant-Appellee,
Before: Gage, P.J., and Meter and Owens, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
In this divorce and child custody action, plaintiff appeals by leave granted from a December 14,
1998 temporary order that contained a provision requiring plaintiff to answer defendant’s discovery
requests concerning sexual abuse that plaintiff’s father inflicted on her. While this appeal was pending, a
trial was held regarding plaintiff’s complaint and the trial court entered a judgment of divorce. Because
a trial has already occurred and a judgment already has been entered, any pretrial discovery issue
concerning this case has become moot. B P 7 v Bureau of State Lottery, 231 Mich App 356, 359;
586 NW2d 117 (1998) (“An issue is deemed moot when an event occurs that renders it impossible for
a reviewing court to grant relief.”). Therefore, we decline to review this matter and instead order its
dismissal pursuant to MCR 7.216(A)(7). We further deny as inappropriate plaintiff’s request for
appellate attorney fees. MCR 7.216(C).
Appeal dismissed as moot.
/s/ Hilda R. Gage
