PER CURIAM

In these consolidated appeals, the parties having filed a stipulation of dismissal. We must point out appellants' counsel notified the court on January 21, 2022, that this matter was being dismissed because respondent issued a final agency decision on July 29, 2021, which reconsidered and granted the relief appellants requested due to newly enacted legislation. Unbeknownst to the court, that decision was rendered four months before we considered the appeal on November 29, 2021. While we appreciate counsel's representation that there were administrative issues in implementing the decision, she had a responsibility to alert the court of the probable resolution to avoid unnecessary waste of judicial resources. See Sessner v. Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., 435 N.J. Super. 347 (App. Div. 2014). In fact, our decision in this appeal was

A-2758-19 scheduled to be released on January 24, 2022, but was pulled upon notification of the dismissal.

Dismissed with prejudice and without costs.

A-2758-19
