MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Memorandum:Respondent mother appeals from an order terminating her parental rights with respect to the subject child. We reject the mother's contention that she was denied effective assistance of counsel (see generally Matter of Elijah D. [Allison D.], 74 A.D.3d 1846, 1847, 902 N.Y.S.2d 736 [4th Dept. 2010] ). Furthermore, the mother failed to preserve for our review her challenge to the admission in evidence of the report of petitioner's expert inasmuch as she did not object thereto (see Matter of Ayden W. v. John W., 156 A.D.3d 1389, 1390, 66 N.Y.S.3d 143 [4th Dept. 2017] ).
It is hereby ORDERED that the order so appealed from is unanimously affirmed without costs.
