Betsy Lynn Sleath ("plaintiff") appeals from an order denying her motion to dismiss an appeal filed by defendant. We dismiss plaintiff's appeal as moot.

On 17 July 2006, plaintiff filed a motion to dismiss the Appeal based on defendant's alleged failure to timely serve the proposed record on appeal. Judge Alonzo B. Coleman, Jr. denied plaintiff's motion to dismiss the appeal, defendant's appeal was docketed in this Court as COA06-1453, and subsequently dismissed in an opinion filed 1 May 2007. Sleath v. Adams, __ N.C. App. __, __ S.E.2d __ (N.C. Ct. App. May 1, 2007) (unpublished). Since this Court dismissed defendant's appeal, plaintiff's appeal from the district court's order denying her motion to dismiss the same appeal is rendered moot. State ex rel. Utils Comm'n v. S.
