OPINION

M. SMITH, Circuit Judge:

Debtors-Appellants Castaic Partners, LLC, and Castaic Partners II, LLC, (collectively Castaic) appeal the district court’s dismissal of this bankruptcy appeal as moot under 11 U.S.C. § 363(m). During the pendency of the appeal, the bankruptcy court dismissed the underlying bankruptcy cases as well. Castaic did not appeal those dismissals, and after 14 days, they became final. There is therefore no longer any case or controversy, and this Court has no power to grant Castaic any effective relief. We dismiss this appeal as moot under Article III of the Constitution.
