Opinion
No. 503324.
November 20, 2008.
Appeal from an order of the Family Court of Broome County (Connerton, J.), entered August 16, 2007, which granted petitioner's application, in a proceeding pursuant to Family Ct Act article 10-A, to approve petitioner's permanency plan for respondent's child.
Sandra M. Colatosti, Albany, for appellant.
Kuredin V. Eytina, Broome County Department of Social Services, Binghamton, for respondent.
Before: Mercure, J.P., Spain, Carpinello and Kavanagh, JJ.
Respondent appeals from Family Court's August 2007 order which approved petitioner's permanency plan with a goal to free respondent's daughter for adoption. Based on the court's March 2008 order approving a subsequent permanency plan, this appeal is moot ( see Matter of Shontae R., 48 AD3d 1006, 1006; see also Matter of Kila DD., 34 AD3d 1168, 1169; Matter of Jolyssa EE., 28 AD3d 824, 825; Matter of Lisa Z., 276 AD2d 853, 853). As no exception to the mootness doctrine is present, we dismiss the appeal.
Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
