Care & Protection of Lorraine

661 N.E.2d 1307, 422 Mass. 1001, 1996 Mass. LEXIS 47

Opinion

Because the underlying order in the trial court that was the subject of this G. L. c. 211, § 3 (1994 ed.), proceeding has been vacated, the appeal from a single justice’s order concerning the trial court’s order is moot. The order of the single justice is vacated, and a judgment shall be entered dismissing the petition as moot and not on the merits.

So ordered.
