IN RE: B.C. (2026)

Appeal from order, Family Court, New York County (Jaimee L. Nelsen, J.), entered on or about July 24, 2025, which extended a final order of protection in petitioner's favor until July 23, 2026, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as moot.

The appeal is moot because the order of protection expired by its own terms in July 2026 and appellant has failed to identify any permanent and significant stigma that might flow from entry of the order (see Sandra G. v. Victor P., 71 AD3d 588, 588 [1st Dept 2010], lv dismissed 15 NY3d 862 [2010];  Matter of Emily SS. v. Charles SS., 248 AD3d 1378, 1379 [3d Dept 2026] ).  Moreover, because the initial order of protection was entered on appellant's default, he is precluded from challenging the allegations in the family offense petition underlying that order, as no appeal lies from an order entered on default (see Matter of Flor S. v. Luis R., 211 AD3d 411, 411 [1st Dept 2022] ).
