Syllabus

The trial court did not err in accepting appellant's no-contest pleas while motions to dismiss and to suppress were pending. The no-contest pleas simply rendered those motions moot. Appellant's alleged lack of notice of a civil-protection-order hearing does not invalidate his criminal conviction for violating the order. Appellant could not collaterally attack the order's validity in his criminal cases. In addition, appellant presented no affidavit or other evidence below to support his claimed lack of notice, and the trial court made no ruling on the issue. Therefore, there is nothing to review on appeal even if appellant could raise the lack-of-notice issue. Judgments affirmed.
