UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 23-35067

Plaintiff-Appellee, D.C. No. 2:21-cv-01522-RAJ-BAT

v. MEMORANDUM* ERIN M. LAFFERTY,

Defendant-Appellant,

and

KING COUNTY; WELLS FARGO BANK; JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.; FANNIE MAE; SEATTLE SAVINGS BANK,

Defendants.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington Richard A. Jones, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted April 22, 2024**

Before: CALLAHAN, LEE, and FORREST, Circuit Judges.

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Erin M. Lafferty appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment for the

United States in its action to reduce to judgment federal income tax assessments

against Lafferty for tax years 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2010, and to foreclose on

federal tax liens on Lafferty’s real property to satisfy the judgment. We dismiss

the appeal as moot.

Lafferty’s appeal is moot because Lafferty stipulated to the entry of

judgment in favor of the United States and voluntarily sold the real property to

satisfy her obligations. See Holloway v. United States, 789 F.2d 1372, 1373 (9th

Cir. 1986) (“[A]n appeal will be dismissed as moot when events occur which

prevent the appellate court from granting any effective relief even if the dispute is

decided in favor of the appellant.” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).

All pending motions are denied as moot.

DISMISSED.
