The Michigan Supreme Court has voided the COA published decision in In re BMGZ, Minor, a stepparent adoption case where the plaintiffs wanted SIJ status for the minor child.

In a case where the respondent-mother’s parental rights had been terminated, the COA held that her appeal was not moot, even though the child died while the appeal was pending.

In In re LMB, the Court of Appeals held that entry of an order of filiation while an adoption appeal was pending mooted the adoption appeal.
