PER CURIAM:  David P. appeals his adjudication of delinquency for resisting arrest and commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice, arguing the family court erred in (1) holding that the stop and frisk of him were proper and (2) rejecting his motion for a directed verdict.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities:

Nelson, 336 S.C. 186, 193-95, 519 S.E.2d 786, 789-90 (1999) (holding that "new and distinct crimes" do not qualify as fruit of the poisonous tree); Linda Mc Co. v. Shore, 390 S.C. 543, 557, 703 S.E.2d 499, 506 (2010) ("A case becomes moot . . . when some event occurs making it impossible for [the] reviewing Court to grant effectual relief." (citations and internal quotation marks omitted)).

2. As to whether the family court erred in denying David's motion for a directed verdict for resisting arrest: In re Richard D., 388 S.C. 95, 98, 693 S.E.2d 447, 449 (Ct. App. 2010) (holding thatthe appellate court "is concerned with the existence of evidence" and views the evidence and inferences in the light most favorable to the State).

AFFIRMED.

WILLIAMS, GEATHERS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.


[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
