City of Eureka v. Squires
Plaintiffs and respondents City of Eureka and the People of the State of California (collectively, City) filed suit to abate alleged nuisances and other substandard conditions at 26 properties owned by defendants and appellants Floyd Squires, Floyd E. Squires, Floyd E. Squires III, Betty J. Squires, FB Squires Family Trust, and Betty J’s Building, Inc. (collectively, Squires). After the trial court appointed a provisional receiver for the properties, Squires filed this appeal. We offered the parties the opportunity to submit supplemental letter briefs addressing (1) whether this court should take judicial notice of a subsequent trial court order appointing a receiver as to six of the properties, but declining to appoint one as to the other 20 properties, and (2) whether this appeal should be dismissed as moot. After considering the parties’ supplemental letter briefs, we take judicial notice of the trial court’s subsequent receivership order and dismiss this appeal as moot. We also deny as moot a motion by City to dismiss this appeal on other grounds.
