SUPERIOR COURT OF NEW JERSEY APPELLATE DIVISION DOCKET NO. A-4074-23 STATE OF NEW JERSEY, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. PHILLIP W. WEISS, a/k/a PHILLIP W. W. WEIST, Defendant-Appellant. ________________________ Submitted June 4, 2025 – Decided July 28, 2025 Before Judges Currier and Torregrossa-O'Connor.

On appeal from the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Cumberland County, Indictment No. 21-03-0379.

PER CURIAM Defendant Phillip W. Weiss appeals the August 19, 2024 Law Division order denying his motion for bail pending appeal. Defendant pleaded guilty to third-degree aggravated criminal sexual contact, N.J.S.A. 2C:14-3(a). On June 17, 2024, the court sentenced defendant to four years' imprisonment. Defendant appealed that sentence on August 14, 2024, and filed a motion with the trial court for bail pending appeal. The trial court denied defendant's motion for bail on August 19, 2024; defendant now appeals from that order.

We heard defendant's sentencing appeal on January 8, 2025, and issued an order remanding the matter to the trial court "to provide a detailed statement of reasons for imposing the sentence under review, and to amend the judgment of conviction accordingly." State v. Weiss, No. A-3562-23 (App. Div. Jan. 8, 2025). We did not retain jurisdiction. Ibid. According to e-Courts, defendant was resentenced on June 3, 2025. Thus, we conclude defendant's appeal is moot and dismiss. See State v. Davila, 443 N.J. Super. 577, 584 (App. Div. 2016) ("We consider an issue moot when 'the decision sought in a matter, when rendered, can have no practical effect on the existing controversy.'" (quoting Greenfield v. N.J. Dep't of Corr., 382 N.J. Super. 254, 257-58 (App. Div. 2006))).

Dismissed as moot.
