Syllabus

The plaintiff, as trustee, sought to foreclose a mortgage on certain real property owned by the defendant F. The trial court granted the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment as to liability only and rendered a judg- ment of foreclosure by sale, from which F appealed to this court, which affirmed the judgment of the trial court and remanded the case to that court to set a new sale date. The trial court ordered a new sale date and waived newspaper advertisements. The committee filed a motion to approve the sale and the trial court rendered judgment approving the sale and deed, from which F appealed to this court. Thereafter, the court granted the plaintiff's motion to terminate the appellate stay and, although F objected to the motion, he did not file a motion for review of the trial court's order granting that motion. Held that F's appeal was moot and, accordingly, the appeal was dismissed; because F failed to seek review of the court's order terminating the appellate stay, the judicial sale became final, and title vested in the plaintiff and F's right of redemption was extinguished.
