The following excerpt is from MELBOSTAD v. FISHER, 165 Cal.App.4th 987, 81 Cal.Rptr.3d 354 (Cal. App. 2008):
any effectual relief this court may grant appellant even if we address whether appellant was entitled to discovery in connection with respondent's attorney fees motion, in light of the fact that we are dismissing the appeal of the underlying fee award. ( Giles v. Horn (2002) 100 Cal.App.4th 206, 226-227, 123 Cal.Rptr.2d 735 [appellate courts generally will not consider moot issues].) Assuming arguendo that the issue is not moot, the appeal of the discovery order is untimely.
