 Jacqueline Bazikian appeals from a restraining order entered against her in a civil 

harassment proceeding brought by Parvin Mirabadi. The restraining order expired in 

August 2013. We will accordingly dismiss the appeal as moot. 

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND 

 Mirabadi performed liposuction on Bazikian on July 20, 2005. Bazikian 

subsequently complained that Mirabadi caused “nerve damage” in her arms and filed 

a malpractice action against Mirabadi and a separate lawsuit against the anesthesiologist 

who assisted with the surgery. The actions were dismissed.1

 Bazikian proceeded to 

send letters to Mirabadi and a member of her staff threatening them with criminal 

prosecution. 

 On June 26, 2012, Mirabadi initiated this civil harassment proceeding under 

Code of Civil Procedure section 527.6 in which she requested orders to stop Bazikian 

from harassing her and her staff. The court issued a temporary restraining order and 

notice of hearing. After a hearing on August 6, 2012, the court issued a permanent 

restraining order for the period of one year restraining Bazikian from harassing 

Mirabadi and two of her employees. 

 Bazikian moved for reconsideration of the order. The court denied the motion on 

the grounds that there was “clear and convincing evidence that Bazikian ha[d] engaged 

in a years long campaign of harassment . . . directed toward Dr. Mirabadi,” that 

Bazikian had threatened Mirabadi and her staff, and that she had “repeatedly state[d],

 Bazikian also filed a complaint with the Department of Consumer Affairs’ 

Medical Board; however, the record does not show how the complaint was resolved.

‘You can not stop me[]’ . . . [t]hereby evidencing that unless otherwise restrained by the 

Court, Bazikian w[ould] continue on her long established and continuing course of 

conduct.” Bazikian timely appealed. 

DISCUSSION 

 The appeal is moot because the order restraining Bazikian expired on August 6, 

2013. (See, e.g., Environmental Charter High School v. Centinela Valley Union High 

School District (2004) 122 Cal.App.4th 139, 144 [“If relief granted by the trial court is 

temporal, and if the relief granted expires before an appeal can be heard, then an appeal 

by the adverse party is moot. [Citation.]”].)

DISPOSITION 

 The appeal is dismissed. Respondent shall recover her costs, if any, on appeal.
