Opinion
December 30, 1996.
Order unanimously reversed on the law without costs and matter remitted to Erie County Family Court for further proceedings in accordance with the following
Present — Green, J.P., Pine, Callahan, Balio and Boehm, JJ.
Because Family Court improperly authorized assigned counsel to withdraw from representation of respondent in this child protective proceeding ( see, Matter of Tierra C, 111 AD2d 994), the order must be reversed and the matter remitted to Erie County Family Court for reassignment of counsel and a new fact-finding hearing ( see, Matter of Dominique L. B., 231 AD2d 948). (Appeal from Order of Erie County Family Court, Mix, J."Neglect.)
