Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 232915
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 87-265889
LASHONE PARKS,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
NORBERT MCKENNY,
Respondent-Appellee.
Before: Zahra, P.J., and Cavanagh and White, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
In this child protection proceeding under the Juvenile Code, MCL 712A.1 et seq.,
respondent-appellant appeals as of right from an order placing the minor child in the custody of
the child’s father, respondent McKenny. We dismiss this appeal as moot.
An issue may be deemed moot when an event occurs that renders it impossible for a
reviewing court to grant relief. B P 7 v Bureau of State Lottery, 231 Mich App 356, 359; 586
NW2d 117 (1998). As her sole issue on appeal, respondent-appellant challenges the court’s
decision to place the child with McKenny without a hearing. However, the record reflects that,
since entry of the challenged custody order, a number of hearings have been to held to determine
the status and placement of the child, including the initial dispositional hearing, a subsequent
dispositional review hearing, and a permanency planning hearing. Moreover, the child has been
removed from McKenny’s custody and, according to the most recent records available to this
Court, was placed with her maternal grandmother in January 2002. In light of these subsequent
events, respondent-appellant’s appeal is now moot.
