Argued October 16, 2017 – Decided October 31, 2017
Before Judges Messano and Vernoia.
On appeal from the Superior Court of New
Jersey, Law Division, Essex County, Indictment
No. 15-06-1511.
Samuel M. Silver argued the cause for
appellant.
Respondents have not filed a brief.
PER CURIAM
Appellant All USA Bail Bonds appeals from a September 18,
2015 order denying its motion for exoneration as surety and
discharge of a $35,000 bond it posted for defendant Nygera
Arrington's release on bail on aggravated assault charges. We are
advised the charges against Arrington have been resolved and that,
as a result, the bond has been discharged or will be discharged
upon appellant's request.
We dismiss the appeal as moot. See Finkel v. Twp. Comm., 434
N.J. Super. 303, 315 (App. Div. 2013) ("[O]ur courts often decline
to review legal questions that have become academic prior to
judicial scrutiny, out of reluctance to render a decision in the
abstract on such moot issues and a related desire to conserve
judicial resources."). We are also satisfied the issues presented
are not "of significant public importance," ibid., and are
otherwise fact-sensitive and therefore not "'capable of
repetition, yet evading review' because of the short duration of
any single plaintiff's interest," ibid. (quoting In re Conroy, 190
N.J. Super. 453, 459 (App. Div. 1983), rev'd on other grounds, 98
N.J. 321 (1985)).
Dismissed as moot.
