The mother, A.G., appeals from a dispositional order in a dependency matter. The mother’s sole contention is that she should not have been excluded from the family home. This had the functional effect of a removal order which prevented her from living with her two children. While the appeal was pending, the removal order was vacated and the children were placed in the home of both parents. In response to this state of affairs, the Department of Children and Family Services moved on April 11, 2015, to dismiss the appeal on mootness grounds. Initially, counsel for the mother opposed the dismissal motion. However, on September 21, 2015, as the children had returned to the mother’s physical custody, her opposition to the dismissal motion was withdrawn. We agree with the parties that we have no jurisdiction over this matter because all of the mother’s contentions are now moot. (Eye Dog Foundation v.
