Anthony DeLisle appeals the entry of a domestic abuse protective order.
He concedes that the order was canceled approximately four months after it was
entered.
Additionally, we note that the cancellation order was issued at the
request of DeLisle. That request stated DeLisle and his wife needed more time
with a counselor to restore their marriage.
We conclude the district court’s cancellation of the protective order
renders DeLisle’s appeal moot. See Lewis Inv., Inc. v. City of Iowa City, 703
N.W.2d 180, 183 (Iowa 2005) (quoting State v. Hernandez-Lopez, 639 N.W.2d
226, 234 (Iowa 2002) (“Ordinarily, an appeal is deemed moot if the issue
becomes nonexistent or academic and, consequently no longer involves a
justiciable controversy.”)).
APPEAL DISMISSED.
