PER CURIAM.

¶ 1 Petitioners-appellants-petitioners, Steve P. and Donna P., are the prospective adoptive parents of Giovanna P., born November 12, 2010. Steve P. and Donna P. petitioned for review of an unpublished decision1 of the court of appeals, which affirmed the circuit court's order2 dismissing their petition under Wis. Stat. ch. 54 for guardianship of Giovanna P. After examining the record and the briefs filed with this court, we conclude that the petition for review was improvidently granted.

¶ 2 The essential facts are as follows.3 As a result of a pre-adoptive placement by an adoption agency, Steve P. and Donna P. raised Giovanna P. from birth to about ten months old. During Giovanna P.'s time with Steve P. and Donna P., respondents-respondents Maegan F. and Noel G.—Giovanna P.'s biological parents—decided they wanted custody of Giovanna P. Both Maegan F.'s and Noel G.'s parental rights were intact; neither set of parental rights had been terminated. Steve P. and Donna P. filed a petition for permanent guardianship of Giovanna P., which the circuit court dismissed on September 20, 2011. The court of appeals affirmed the circuit court. This court granted review.

¶ 3 Giovanna P. currently resides in a foster home—her third placement since she was removed from Steve P.'s and Donna P.'s custody.4 Giovanna P. has never been in the custody of either of her biological parents: Noel G. has been imprisoned since Giovanna P.'s birth, and Maegan F. has failed to satisfy the conditions established for Giovanna P.'s placement with her.

¶ 4 Giovanna P. is currently the subject of two pending cases in Milwaukee County Circuit Court. First, Giovanna P. is the subject of a child in need of protection and services (CHIPS) case. On January 19, 2012, the circuit court found Giovanna P. to be a child in need of protection and services pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 48.13(8). A CHIPS extension order remains in effect. Second, on July 8, 2013, the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office filed a petition to terminate Noel G.'s and Maegan F.'s parental rights to Giovanna P. A jury trial in the termination of parental rights (TPR) case is scheduled for January 13, 2014. As required by statute, the circuit court has appointed a GAL to advocate for Giovanna P.'s best interests in the TPR case. See Wis. Stat. §§ 48.235(1)(c); 48.235(3)(a). The circuit court has appointed a different GAL in the TPR case than the GAL involved in the guardianship matter currently before this Court.

¶ 5 Because it appears that the above-described circuit court proceedings may fully and finally resolve Giovanna P.'s custody and placement status in the coming few months, we dismiss the petition for review as improvidently granted.

¶ 6 We note that on September 6, 2013, Steve P. and Donna P. filed a "Motion for Clarification and Sanctions" regarding the GAL's retention of counsel and the brief-in-chief filed by counsel on the GAL's behalf. Because we have determined that the petition for review should be dismissed as improvidently granted, we need not address this motion.

¶ 7 The review of the decision of the court of appeals is dismissed as improvidently granted.
