Opinion
April 19, 1996
Appeal from the Chautauqua County Family Court, Hartley, J.
Present — Pine, J.P., Lawton, Wesley, Balio and Davis, JJ.
Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: Family Court properly granted the petitions terminating the parental rights of respondent based upon his permanent neglect of his three daughters. Despite petitioner's efforts over a three-year period to help respondent to plan for his children's future, respondent continually failed to do so ( see, Social Services Law § 384-b [a]; Matter of Star Leslie W., 63 N.Y.2d 136; Matter of Tanya P., 219 A.D.2d 849).
