Hauser v. Hausergreen

2015Our Supreme Court held in Hauser v. Hauser, 259 Neb. 653 , 611 N.W.2d 840 (2000), that even when the defending party alleges that the protection order may cause that person to be subject to certain employment ramifications or that he may also face future criminal prosecutions, an exception to the mootness doctrine is not justified if the record is devoid of evidence to show a criminal conviction resulting from the issuance of a protection order, or that any other rights or liabilities were actually affected by issuance of the protection order.

2021More specifically, in Nesbitt v. Frakes, 300 Neb. 1, 10 , 911 N.W.2d 598, 606 (2018), the Supreme Court held that “[a]n application of the public interest exception to the mootness doctrine is inappropriate when the issues presented on appeal do not inherently evade appellate review.” In this case, although Torrien’s appeal was rendered moot due to her reaching the age of majority, other cases would not inherently evade review by appellate courts if the juvenile did not reach the age of majority during the pendency of the appeal.
