____________________________________
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. 15-12-2817.
Samuel M. Silver argued the cause for
appellant.
Eric B. Kaviar argued the cause for respondent
Keson Jenkins.
PER CURIAM
Appellant All USA Bail Bonds appeals from a June 1, 2016
order denying its motion for exoneration as surety and discharge
of a $50,000 bond it posted for defendant Keson Jenkins's release
on bail on three drug offenses. We are advised the charges against
Jenkins 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.
