C.A. 1st;
A146632
The First Appellate District dismissed an appeal from the dismissal of a dependency petition as moot. The court held that because the minor who was the subject of the petition was now over the age of 18, even if relief was warranted, it was no longer available to him.
On September 24, 2015, the Contra Costa County Children and Family Services Bureau filed a Welf. & Inst. Code §300 dependency petition on behalf of 17-year old David B. David, a victim of past gun violence, was a wheelchair-bound diabetic in need of day-to-day medical assistance. He was living in a homeless shelter. According to David, he had been abandoned by his mother and left without means of support. The county later purportedly discovered that, rather than being abandoned, David was instead a runaway. The county moved for the petition to be dismissed.
