Its mute?

No. Moot. Different word, often confused.

moot
an old English word for an assembly, but now the word is used only

1 as a noun to describe a legal argument not in a court of law, usually held for the purpose of legal education based on a tradition established in the English Inns of Court.

2 as an adjective, a point of law is often said to be moot if, raised in a litigation, the point does not any longer affect the decision in the case before the court.
