IN RE: LATISHA M. MCCLARIN (2025)

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

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

Memorandum: These consolidated appeals arise from five proceedings pursuant to article 8 of the Family Court Act. In appeal Nos. 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, petitioner appeals from five orders dated September 26, 2023 that granted respondent's motion to, inter alia, dismiss the petitions based on petitioner's lack of standing. In appeal Nos. 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, petitioner appeals from five orders also dated September 26, 2023 that dismissed the petitions due to lack of standing.

Initially, we dismiss appeal Nos. 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 inasmuch as the orders in those appeals are effectively duplicative of the orders in appeal Nos. 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 (see generally Matter of Chendo O., 175 AD2d 635, 635 [4th Dept 1991]).

With respect to the remaining appeals, petitioner's contention that she has standing by virtue of an “intimate relationship” with respondent under Family Court Act § 812 (e) (1) is raised for the first time on appeal and is not properly before us (see Matter of Jonathan M. v Jessica N., 236 AD3d 1360, 1362 [4th Dept 2025]; Ciesinski v Town of Aurora, 202 AD2d 984, 985 [4th Dept 1994]).
