Fultz v. Rose

Before: Arthur L. Alarcon, Dorothy W. Nelson and Stephen Reinhardt, Circuit Judges. Order DISMISSING THE APPEAL AS MOOT The appeal in the above captioned action is hereby DISMISSED as moot. An appeal must be dismissed as moot when intervening events that do not involve wrongful conduct by the appellee leave the appellate court unable to grant effective relief. In re Combined Metals Reduction Co., 557 F.2d 179, 187 (9th Cir. 1977). Fultz sold the Rose property to Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins in compliance with the district court's March 7, 1986 order. Because Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins are not parties to this action, we are no longer able to grant any effective relief from that order or to reach the merits of this appeal.
