Appeal from the Order Entered January 24, 2023 In the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County Orphans' Court at No: 0296-2020-O

BEFORE: STABILE, J., KUNSELMAN, J., and STEVENS, P.J.E.*

JUDGMENT ORDER BY STABILE, J.: FILED JULY 22, 2024

Appellant, J.F., appeals from the January 24, 2023 amended decree.

We dismiss this appeal as moot.

Appellant is the daughter of J.L.C., the alleged incapacitated person in

this matter. An appeal from the January 24, 2023 amended decree also is

pending before this court in a related appeal at docket number 502 EDA 2023.

For the reasons explained in our opinion at number 502 EDA 2023, we have

vacated the January 24, 2023 decree and remanded for further proceedings.

Our disposition of the appeal at number 502 EDA 2023 resolves the

substantive issues Appellant raises here and leaves no further case or

controversy to be addressed. We therefore dismiss this appeal as moot. See
