December 30, 2002.

CHARLES PLOVANICH, LAW GUARDIAN, ROCHESTER, FOR RESPONDENT-APPELLANT.
PRESENT: PIGOTT, JR., P.J., PINE, WISNER, KEHOE, AND BURNS, JJ.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
It is hereby ORDERED that said appeal from the order insofar as it concerns placement be and the same hereby is unanimously dismissed and the order is affirmed without costs.
Memorandum:
We reject respondent's contention that the petition is jurisdictionally defective ( cf. Matter of Neftali D., 85 N.Y.2d 631). Inasmuch as the order placing respondent in the custody of the New York State Office of Children and Family Services until June 23, 2000 has expired, respondent's contention that such placement was not appropriate is moot ( see Matter of Raymond WW., 291 A.D.2d 682, 683).
