Whether the appeal became moot after the respondent reconsidered and annulled the challenged decision
Yes. The reconsideration fully granted the appellant’s conclusions, so the appeal had become moot and the case had to be removed from the docket.
Under Art. 53(3) LPGA, the authority may reconsider a challenged decision before sending its response. If the reconsidered decision fully satisfies the appellant, there is no remaining object of dispute.
