CAF 13–02092

Decided: January 02, 2015

PRESENT: SCUDDER, P.J., CENTRA, CARNI, AND SCONIERS, JJ.

FRANK H. HISCOCK LEGAL AID SOCIETY, SYRACUSE (BRYCE THERRIEN OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT–APPELLANT. GORDON J. CUFFY, COUNTY ATTORNEY, SYRACUSE (POLLY E. JOHNSON OF COUNSEL), FOR PETITIONER–RESPONDENT.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

LISA M. FAHEY, ATTORNEY FOR THE CHILD, EAST SYRACUSE.

It is hereby ORDERED that said appeal is unanimously dismissed without costs.

Memorandum: As limited by her brief, respondent mother appeals from an order that denied her visitation with the subject child. Inasmuch as a subsequent order has been entered terminating the mother's parental rights, we dismiss this appeal as moot (see Matter of Lateesha J., 252 A.D.2d 503, 503–504; see also Matter of Alexander M. [Michael M.], 83 AD3d 1400, 1401, lv denied 17 NY3d 704). We conclude that the exception to the mootness doctrine does not apply herein (see Matter of Francis S. [Wendy H.], 67 AD3d 1442, 1442, lv denied 14 NY3d 702).

Frances E. Cafarell

Clerk of the Court
