In re Kendall J. CA2/1
Martin D. raises only one issue on appeal: the trial court’s October 21, 2016 order denying his request for presumed father status under Family Code section 7611, subdivision (d). We granted Kendall J.’s request for judicial notice of a June 16, 2017 subsequent order (while this appeal was pending) in which the trial court found that Martin D. was Kendall J.’s presumed father. Because Martin D. now has presumed father status, his appeal is moot.
“ ‘An appeal becomes moot when, through no fault of the respondent, the occurrence of an event renders it impossible for the appellate court to grant the appellant effective relief.’ ” (In re Anna S . (2010) 180 Cal.App.4th 1489, 1498.)
