SUPERIOR COURT OF NEW JERSEY APPELLATE DIVISION DOCKET NO. A-4074-23
STATE OF NEW JERSEY,
Plaintiff-Respondent,
v.
PHILLIP W. WEISS, a/k/a PHILLIP W. W. WEIST,
Defendant-Appellant. ________________________
Submitted June 4, 2025 – Decided July 28, 2025
Before Judges Currier and Torregrossa-O'Connor.
On appeal from the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Cumberland County, Indictment No. 21-03-0379.
Law Offices of Michael H. Schreiber, LLC, attorney for appellant (Michael H. Schreiber, on the briefs).
Jennifer Webb-McRae, Cumberland County Prosecutor, attorney for respondent (Stephen C. Sayer, Assistant Prosecutor, of counsel and on the brief).
PER CURIAM Defendant Phillip W. Weiss appeals the August 19, 2024 Law Division
order denying his motion for bail pending appeal. Defendant pleaded guilty to
third-degree aggravated criminal sexual contact, N.J.S.A. 2C:14-3(a). On June
17, 2024, the court sentenced defendant to four years' imprisonment. Defendant
appealed that sentence on August 14, 2024, and filed a motion with the trial
court for bail pending appeal. The trial court denied defendant's motion for bail
on August 19, 2024; defendant now appeals from that order.
We heard defendant's sentencing appeal on January 8, 2025, and issued an
order remanding the matter to the trial court "to provide a detailed statement of
reasons for imposing the sentence under review, and to amend the judgment of
conviction accordingly." State v. Weiss, No. A-3562-23 (App. Div. Jan. 8,
2025). We did not retain jurisdiction. Ibid. According to e-Courts, defendant
was resentenced on June 3, 2025. Thus, we conclude defendant's appeal is moot
and dismiss. See State v. Davila, 443 N.J. Super. 577, 584 (App. Div. 2016)
("We consider an issue moot when 'the decision sought in a matter, when
rendered, can have no practical effect on the existing controversy.'" (quoting
Greenfield v. N.J. Dep't of Corr., 382 N.J. Super. 254, 257-58 (App. Div.
2006))).
Dismissed as moot.
A-4074-23 2
