Opinion
December 19, 1994
Appeal from the Family Court, Suffolk County (Freundlich, J.).
Ordered that the appeal is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements.
The Family Court determined that the appellant willfully violated a 1991 order of child support and directed his incarceration for a period of 48 days under Family Court Act § 454 (3) (a). Since the appellant has already served his sentence of incarceration, under the circumstances of this case, his challenges to the order of the Family Court are academic (see, Matter of Zapata v Middleton, 197 A.D.2d 526; Matter of Madison County Support Collection Unit [Bordell] v Drennan, 156 A.D.2d 883; Ward v Ward, 71 A.D.2d 854; cf., Matter of Williams v Cornelius, 76 N.Y.2d 542). Balletta, J.P., O'Brien, Copertino and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
