IN RE: CARTER B. Monroe County Department of Human Services, Petitioner-Respondent; v. Heather B., Respondent-Appellant.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
It is hereby ORDERED that the order so appealed from is unanimously affirmed without costs.
Memorandum: Respondent mother appeals from an order by which Family Court, inter alia, revoked a suspended judgment entered upon her admission that she had permanently neglected the subject child and terminated her parental rights with respect to that child. We affirm. There is a sound and substantial basis in the record to support the court's determination that the mother failed to comply with the terms of the suspended judgment and that the child's interests were best served by terminating the mother's parental rights (see Matter of Jerimiah H. [Kiarra M.], 213 AD3d 1298, 1298-1299 [4th Dept 2023], lv denied 39 NY3d 913 [2023]; Matter of Terry L.G., 6 AD3d 1144, 1145 [4th Dept 2004]; see generally Matter of Michael S. [Charle S.], 182 AD3d 1053, 1054 [4th Dept 2020], lv denied 35 NY3d 911 [2020]). The mother's contention that her due process rights were violated is unpreserved for our review and in any event is without merit (see Matter of Giovanni K. [Dawn K.], 68 AD3d 1766, 1767 [4th Dept 2009], lv denied 14 NY3d 707 [2010]; see generally Matter of Jessica J., 44 AD3d 1132, 1133 [3d Dept 2007]).
