IN RE: SALVATORE Y. (2025)

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

IN RE: SALVATORE Y. ERIE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, PETITIONER-RESPONDENT; CHANDEL Y., RESPONDENT-APPELLANT. (APPEAL NO. 1.)

305 Decided: April 25, 2025

PRESENT: LINDLEY, J.P., MONTOUR, OGDEN, GREENWOOD, AND KEANE, JJ.

CHARLES J. GREENBERG, AMHERST, FOR RESPONDENT-APPELLANT. SAM FADUSKI, BUFFALO, FOR PETITIONER-RESPONDENT. JENNIFER M. LORENZ, ORCHARD PARK, ATTORNEY FOR THE CHILD.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

It is hereby ORDERED that the order so appealed from is unanimously affirmed without costs.

Memorandum: In this proceeding pursuant to Social Services Law § 384-b, respondent mother appeals from two orders by which Family Court revoked a suspended judgment entered upon her admission that she had permanently neglected the two subject children and terminated her parental rights with respect to those children. In both appeal No. 1 and appeal No. 2, we affirm. We conclude in each appeal that 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 interests of each child are best served by terminating the mother's parental rights (see Matter of Carter B. [Heather B.], 219 AD3d 1700, 1701 [4th Dept 2023], lv denied 41 NY3d 901 [2024]; Matter of Terry L.G., 6 AD3d 1144, 1145 [4th Dept 2004]).
