Real Property: Unlawful Detainer Action-Breach of Lease

Defendants appealed from the adverse judgment entered against them in plaintiffs’ unlawful detainer action, in which plaintiffs alleged they were entitled to possession of farmland they had leased to defendants for defendants’ breach of the lease.

Where the defendants surrendered possession of the property, it constituted a voluntary acquiescence to the judgment that rendered their appeal moot.

Appeal is dismissed.
