Matter of Joshua J. (Tameka J.)

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed dismissal of the mother's appeals from expired permanency hearing orders as moot. It held that the orders were superseded by later orders and that the Appellate Division did not abuse its discretion by declining to apply the exception for recurring, typically unreviewable, substantial, and novel issues. The Court also declined to create a blanket exception permitting review of all otherwise moot permanency hearing appeals.
