Statement of the Case

C.J. appeals from the juvenile court’s order modifying a dispositional decree following his adjudication as a delinquent child for battery, as a Class A misdemean- or when committed by an adult. C.J. presents a single issue for our review, namely, whether the juvenile court abused its discretion when it placed him with the Department of Correction (“DOC”). However, because C.J. has been released from the DOC since he initiated this appeal, we dismiss the appeal as moot.
