         v.

LUIS R.,

         Defendant and Appellant.

      APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los
Angeles County. Tamara E. Hall, Judge. Appeal dismissed.
      Paul A. Swiller, under appointment by the Court of Appeal,
for Defendant and Appellant.
      Dawyn R. Harrison, County Counsel, Kim Nemoy,

                     _______________________
       The father in this dependency case, Luis R., appealed the
juvenile court’s August 29, 2022 dispositional orders placing his
daughter with her maternal aunt and declining father’s request
that the child be placed with him.
       On September 25, 2023, the juvenile court terminated
dependency jurisdiction over the minor child, awarding mother
sole physical and legal custody with monitored visits for father,
and stayed the order pending receipt of a juvenile custody order.
On October 24, 2023, the juvenile custody order was filed, the
stay was lifted, jurisdiction was terminated, and the minor was
released to her mother.
       On October 25, 2023, we sent a Government Code letter
advising the parties we intended to dismiss the appeal as moot
unless they establish dismissal is not proper. The deadline for
responses has passed. The Los Angeles County Department of
Children and Family Services has not responded to our letter.
Father filed a letter on October 30, 2023, “submitting the
mootness issue to the Court” and stating no letter brief would be
filed.
       Accordingly, we conclude the appeal is moot.
                           DISPOSITION
       The appeal is dismissed.
