In re Kiana F. CA2/5
Tamara F. (mother) appeals from the jurisdictional finding and dispositional order declaring her daughter, Kiana F. (Kiana), a dependent of the court under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivision (b). Mother contends substantial evidence does not support the court’s jurisdictional finding that, based on mother’s problems with alcohol, Kiana is at risk of suffering serious harm. She also argues the dependency court lacked jurisdiction to hear the case under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA). (Fam. Code, § 3400 et seq.)
On February 24, 2017 (while the current appeal was pending), the dependency court entered a family law order defining the terms of Kiana’s custody, and an order terminating jurisdiction. We provided the parties an opportunity to address whether we should take judicial notice of the dependency court’s February 24, 2017 orders, and declare moot the issues currently on appeal.
