IN RE: MARK E.D. (Anonymous) (2024)

DECISION & ORDER

In a juvenile delinquency proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 3, Mark E.D. appeals from an order of fact-finding and disposition of the Family Court, Westchester County (Mary Anne Scattaretico–Naber, J.), dated May 25, 2023.  The order of fact-finding and disposition, insofar as appealed from, made upon the admission of Mark E. D., finding that he committed an act which, if committed by an adult, would have constituted the crime of criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation, and after a dispositional hearing, adjudicated him a juvenile delinquent and placed him in the custody of the New York State Office of Children and Family Services for placement in a limited secure facility for a period of one year, less time spent in detention pending disposition.

ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements.

The only issue raised by the appellant concerns that portion of the order of fact-finding and disposition which placed him in the custody of the New York State Office of Children and Family Services for placement in a limited secure facility for a period of one year, less time spent in detention pending disposition.  Since the placement has expired, the appeal must be dismissed as academic (see Matter of Oscar R.M., 213 A.D.3d 855, 855, 183 N.Y.S.3d 546;  Matter of Zawyer C., 95 A.D.3d 1009, 943 N.Y.S.2d 758).
