2011 N.Y. Slip Op. 7419 (N.Y. App. Div. 2011)

Opinion

2010-09290, 2010-09384, (Docket Nos. V-12986-09/10D, V-12986-09/10E, V-12986-09/10F).

Decided on October 18, 2011.

In related proceedings pursuant to Family Court Act article 6, the mother appeals from (1) an order of the Family Court, Nassau County (Zimmerman, J.), dated August 19, 2010, which, without a hearing, dismissed the father's petition in Proceeding No. 1 for modification of a custody and visitation order of the same court dated April 7, 2010, and (2) an order of the same court, also dated August 19, 2010, which, without a hearing, dismissed her two petitions in Proceeding No. 2, one alleging that the father violated certain provisions of the custody and visitation order dated April 7, 2010, and the other seeking modification of that order, inter alia, so as to award her sole custody of the subject child.

ORDERED that the appeal from the first order dated August 19, 2010, dismissing the father's petition, is dismissed, as the mother is not aggrieved thereby ( see CPLR 5511); and it is further,

ORDERED that the appeal from the second order dated August 19, 2010, dismissing the mother's two petitions, is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements.

DECISION ORDER

Since the parties' child is now over 18 years of age, he is no longer subject to the second order appealed from. Accordingly, the appeal from the second order has been rendered academic ( see Matter of Cahill v Zakian , 71 AD3d 765 ; Matter of Merando v Vantassel , 66 AD3d 783 ).

MASTRO, J.P., ANGIOLILLO, BELEN and LOTT, JJ., concur.
