IN RE: AXEL W. (2024)

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, New York.

IN RE: AXEL W., Jacqueline S., Petitioner–Appellant, v. Administration for Children's Services and others, Respondents–Respondents.

3225

Decided: December 10, 2024

Renwick, P.J., Friedman, Shulman, Pitt–Burke, Rosado, JJ.

Andrew J. Baer, New York, for appellant. Law Office of Ira L. Eras, P.C., Brooklyn (Ira L. Eras of counsel), for respondents. Dawne A. Mitchell, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Diane Pazar of counsel), attorney for the child.

Appeal from a corrected order, Family Court, Bronx County (Cynthia Lopez, J.), entered on or about November 30, 2023, which dismissed appellant's petition for custody of the subject child, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as academic.

The appeal from the order dismissing appellant's petition for custody of the child is academic given that the child has been adopted by his foster parents (see Matter of Sandra M. v. Che M., 204 A.D.3d 491, 164 N.Y.S.3d 452 [1st Dept. 2022];  Carmen P. v. Administration for Children's Servs., 149 A.D.3d 577, 50 N.Y.S.3d 275 [1st Dept. 2017]).

We have reviewed appellant's remaining contentions and find them unavailing.
