IN RE: EDWIN C. (2026)

Appeal from a temporary order of protection of the Family Court, New York County (Betsey Jean–Jacques, J.), entered on or about January 9, 2025, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as moot.

Appellant's appeal from a temporary order of protection is moot, as that order was vacated and expunged before its expiration on February 6, 2025 (see Matter of Muhamad Omar W. [Jessica W.], 204 A.D.3d 453, 454, 164 N.Y.S.3d 435 [1st Dept 2022] ).  Contrary to appellant's contentions, we find no exception to the mootness doctrine (see Matter of Veronica P. v. Radcliff A., 24 N.Y.3d 668, 671, 3 N.Y.S.3d 288, 26 N.E.3d 1143 [2015];  Matter of Hearst Corp. v. Clyne, 50 N.Y.2d 707, 714–715, 431 N.Y.S.2d 400, 409 N.E.2d 876 [1980] ).
