In re K.C.
T.C. is the mother of K.C., a dependent child of the Santa Cruz County Juvenile Court pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code, sections 300, et seq. T.C. appeals a court order authorizing out-of-state travel with K.C.’s paternal grandmother.
A memorandum opinion is appropriate in this case because no novel issues are presented. According to the California Supreme Court, “an opinion sufficiently states ‘reasons’ if it sets forth the ‘grounds’ or ‘principles’ upon which the justices concur in the judgment.†(Lewis v. Superior Court (1999) 19 Cal.4th 1232, 1262.)
The order at issue in this appeal was made after a hearing on July 17, 2012, authorizing travel to Reno, Nevada on July 26, 2012 to July 29, 2012. T.C. admits “it is reasonable to assume the travel has already occurred,†but insists this court should consider the merits of her challenge to the order. The Attorney General asserts the action is moot, and should be dismissed.
