On appeal from the Public Employees Relations Commission. Donald J. Rubottom, Chair.

November 6, 2024

PER CURIAM.

DISMISSED. See City of St. Petersburg v. Clark, 166 So. 563, 563 (Fla. 1936) (“The period for which the license had been suspended or revoked had expired, and even if the order of the court granting the temporary injunction should be reversed, it would be fruitless to the appellant.”); see also Casiano v. State, 310 So. 3d 910, 913 (Fla. 2021) (holding that an appeal is moot “‘when the controversy has been so fully resolved that a judicial

2

determination can have no actual effect[,]’” (quoting Godwin v. State, 593 So. 2d 211, 212 (Fla. 1992)), so that no remedy can be fashioned to correct the alleged error).

OSTERHAUS, C.J., and BILBREY and WINOKUR, JJ., concur.

Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331.
