IN RE: GABRIELLE N. N. (2019)

Appeal from permanency hearing order, Family Court, Bronx County (Ruben A. Martino, J.), entered on or about February 24, 2016, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as moot.  Appeal from permanency hearing order, same court and Judge, entered on or about February 28, 2018, upon consent, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as taken by a nonaggrieved party.

The appeal from the February 2016 permanency hearing order is moot because the order was superseded by a permanency hearing order issued in 2017 (see Matter of Qualiayah J. [Taneka J.], 149 A.D.3d 495, 52 N.Y.S.3d 95 [1st Dept. 2017], lv denied 29 N.Y.3d 913, 2017 WL 2682626 [2017];  Matter of Breeyanna S., 52 A.D.3d 342, 861 N.Y.S.2d 615 [1st Dept. 2008] ).  Respondent argues that the appellate issues are preserved because the order changed the permanency goal from that stated in the preceding order, issued on September 2, 2015.  However, the permanency goal of “placement for adoption, including consideration of interstate options pending a parental rights termination petition already filed,” set forth in the February 2016 order is identical to the goal stated in the September 2, 2015 order.

It is also not a ground for appeal that the court stated at the September 1, 2015 permanency hearing that the permanency goal was placement for adoption with concurrent planning for return to parent, which respondent argues constituted impermissible concurrent inconsistent goals (see Family Court Act § 1089[d][2][I] ).  The 2016 written order, which states that the approved permanency goal is placement for adoption, corrected the error (see Matter of Timothy GG. [Meriah GG.], 163 A.D.3d 1065, 81 N.Y.S.3d 311 [3d Dept. 2018], lv denied 32 N.Y.3d 908, 89 N.Y.S.3d 115, 113 N.E.3d 949 [2018] ).

The February 2018 permanency hearing order was entered upon respondent's consent.  Therefore, respondent is not an aggrieved party within the meaning of CPLR 5511 (see Matter of Nafees F., 162 A.D.3d 416, 74 N.Y.S.3d 739 [1st Dept. 2018] ).

We have considered respondent's remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
