IN RE: KIARA L. (Anonymous). Administration for Children's Services, respondent; Jacqueline L. (Anonymous), appellant. (Proceeding No. 1). In the Matter of Karisma L. (Anonymous). Administration for Children's Services, respondent; Jacqueline L. (Anonymous), appellant. (Proceeding No. 2). In the Matter of Zahaira L. (Anonymous). Administration for Children's Services, respondent; Jacqueline L. (Anonymous), appellant. (Proceeding No. 3). In the Matter of Arianna P. (Anonymous). Administration for Children's Services, respondent; Barbara A. (Anonymous), appellant. (Proceeding No. 4).
In four child protective proceedings pursuant to Family Court Act article 10, (1) Jacqueline L. and Barbara A. appeal from an order of the Family Court, Kings County (Turbow, J.), dated July 2, 2003, which denied their motion to disqualify the Administration for Children's Services from prosecuting the proceedings and to dismiss the petitions, and (2) Jacqueline L. also appeals from an order of the same court dated September 26, 2003, which denied her motion for a hearing pursuant to Family Court Act § 1028.
ORDERED that the appeals are dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements.
The orders that are the subject of these appeals have been superseded by subsequent final orders of disposition from which no appeals have been taken. Accordingly, the appeals must be dismissed as academic (see Matter of Rakim W., 10 A.D.3d 453, 780 N.Y.S.2d 919; Matter of Elishaba A., 269 A.D.2d 392, 702 N.Y.S.2d 871; Matter of Commissioner of Social Servs. [Shoshana L.], 239 A.D.2d 417, 658 N.Y.S.2d 888). In any event, the motion to disqualify the Administration for Children's Services was properly denied (see Matter of Tyriek W., 85 N.Y.2d 774, 628 N.Y.S.2d 615, 652 N.E.2d 168; Matter of Ta Fon Edward J.B., 6 A.D.3d 611, 774 N.Y.S.2d 821).
