PER CURIAM.
Affirmed pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities: Sloan v. Greenville Cty., 380 S.C. 528, 535, 670 S.E.2d 663, 667 (Ct. App. 2009) (stating an appellate court will not pass judgment on moot and academic questions or adjudicate a matter when no actual controversy capable of specific relief exists); Sloan v. Friends of the Hunley, Inc., 369 S.C. 20, 26, 630 S.E.2d 474, 477 (2006) (stating a moot case exists when "a judgment rendered by the court will have no practical legal effect upon an existing controversy because an intervening event renders any grant of effectual relief impossible for the reviewing court"); Sloan v. Dep't of Transp., 365 S.C. 299, 303, 618 S.E.2d 876, 878 (2005) (stating an appellate court can accept jurisdiction, despite mootness, if the issue is capable of repetition but evading review); Friends of the Hunley, Inc., 369 S.C. at 27, 630 S.E.2d at 478 ("However, the action must be one [that] will truly evade review."); City of Charleston v. Masi, 362 S.C. 505, 508-09, 609 S.E.2d 301, 303 (2005) ("Regarding the exception that a court can take jurisdiction, despite mootness, if the issue raised is capable of repetition but evading review, we find that while the questions involved could arise again, the questions will not `usually become moot' before they can be reviewed.").
