COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, Appellee v. ANN LOUISE COYLE, Appellant
NON-PRECEDENTIAL DECISION - SEE SUPERIOR COURT I.O.P. 65.37
Appeal from the PCRA Order September 4, 2014 in the Court of Common Pleas of Lebanon County Criminal Division at No(s): CP-38-CR-0001777-2009 BEFORE: BOWES, OTT, and FITZGERALD, JJ. JUDGMENT ORDER BY FITZGERALD, J.:
Former Justice specially assigned to the Superior Court.
Appellant, Ann Louise Coyle, appeals from the order entered in Lebanon County dismissing her Post Conviction Relief Act petition ("PCRA"). We dismiss the appeal.
On February 17, 2016, this Court entered the following order:
ORDER
In order to be eligible for relief under the [PCRA], the petitioner must, inter alia, "currently [be] serving a sentence of imprisonment, probation or parole for the crime[.]" 42 Pa.C.S. § 9543(a)(1)(i). Instantly, Appellant was sentenced on January 19, 2011 to an aggregate term of fifteen months' probation, with the first sixty days on house arrest with electronic monitoring. On August 17, 2011, the trial court
suspended Appellant's sentence pending the disposition of her direct appeal. On September 24, 2014, the trial court reimposed Appellant's original sentence with credit for any time served prior to the suspension of her sentence. N.T. Sentencing H'rg, 9/24/14, at 7. At sentencing, the trial court indicated, "[Appellant] served at least eight months of the [fifteen] months [of] probation." Id. at 3. Therefore, it is unclear whether Appellant is currently serving a sentence of imprisonment, probation, or parole at this time. See 42 Pa.C.S. § 9543(a)(1)(i). Accordingly, we order the PCRA court to supplement the record within fourteen days of the date of this order with documentation establishing whether or not Appellant is currently serving her sentence.Per Curiam Order, 2/17/16.
On February 25, 2016, the trial court filed with this Court a copy of Appellant's case closure notice which indicates Appellant's supervision ended on May 15, 2015. Interstate Comm'n for Adult Offender Supervision Notice, 5/28/15. Accordingly, Appellant is no longer serving a sentence and is ineligible for PCRA relief. See 42 Pa.C.S. § 9543(a)(1)(i). Therefore, we dismiss Appellant's appeal as moot. See Commonwealth v. Schmohl , 975 A.2d 1144, 1149 (Pa. Super. 2009) (noting if Appellant's term of imprisonment ends while appeal is pending, challenge to conviction would be rendered moot and incapable of review).
Appeal dismissed. Judgment Entered. /s/_________
