IN RE: ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES (2005)

Appeal from an order of the Family Court of St. Lawrence County (Potter, J.), entered October 5, 2004, which, in a proceeding pursuant to Family Ct. Act article 4, revoked respondent's suspended sentence of incarceration.

Respondent appeals from an order revoking a September 2003 suspended sentence and committing him to jail for 90 days.¹  As respondent has served this 90-day sentence, the instant appeal is moot (see Matter of Conroy v. Elreedy-Conroy, 17 A.D.3d 721, 721-722, 791 N.Y.S.2d 860 [2005];  Matter of Sales v. Brozzo, 3 A.D.3d 807, 770 N.Y.S.2d 901 [2004], lv. denied 2 N.Y.3d 706, 780 N.Y.S.2d 312, 812 N.E.2d 1262 [2004];  Matter of Sabrina O. [James O.], 309 A.D.2d 984, 766 N.Y.S.2d 146 [2003];  Matter of Madison County Support Collection Unit [Bordell] v. Drennan, 156 A.D.2d 883, 549 N.Y.S.2d 869 [1989] ).   To the extent that respondent claims that this matter is not moot because “a finding of contempt [and willful violation] may have significant collateral consequences” for him, we note simply that he did not appeal from the September 2003 order finding him in willful violation of child support (cf. Matter of Bickwid v. Deutsch, 87 N.Y.2d 862, 863, 638 N.Y.S.2d 932, 662 N.E.2d 250 [1995];  Matter of Moore v. Blank, 8 A.D.3d 1090, 1090-1091, 778 N.Y.S.2d 370 [2004], lv. denied 3 N.Y.3d 606, 785 N.Y.S.2d 22, 818 N.E.2d 664 [2004] ) and therefore this issue is not properly before us (see Matter of Sales v. Brozzo, supra at 807-808, 770 N.Y.S.2d 901;  Matter of Dauria v. Dauria, 286 A.D.2d 879, 880, 730 N.Y.S.2d 895 [2001] ).

ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, as moot, without costs.

FOOTNOTES
