Description
1. Patricia G. appeals from a circuit court order terminating her parental rights to Porcha B.G. She argues that, after finding her in default, the trial court erred in excusing her attorney and subsequently holding the fact-finding/dispositional hearing without counsel present to represent her. Patricia does not argue, however, that counsels presence would have made any difference. Therefore, whether the court erred in excusing counsel is a moot issue. See State ex rel. Olson v. Litscher, 2000 WI App 61, 3, 233 Wis. 2d 685, 608 N.W.2d 425 ("An issue is moot when its resolution will have no practical effect on the underlying controversy."). Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
