Southern Cal. Residential Drywall Contract Administration Committee v. MDP California
Plaintiff, Southern California Residential Drywall Contract Administration Committee, Inc., has appealed from a judgment in a wage dispute in favor of defendant, MDP California, Inc. Defendant secured a discharge of the alleged debt at issue in the bankruptcy court. We issued an order to show cause re: dismissal in light of the bankruptcy discharge order. We have a duty to raise issues concerning our jurisdiction on our own motion. (Jennings v. Marralle (1994) 8 Cal.4th 121, 126; Olson v. Cory (1983) 35 Cal.3d 390, 398.) We requested briefing and set the cause for argument, which was waived. The discharge order renders the appeal moot. (11 U.S.C. § 524(a); Hurley v. Bredehorn (1996) 44 Cal.App.4th 1700, 1704-1705.)
