Before: Manzanet-Daniels, J.P., Kern, Oing, Rodriguez, Higgitt, JJ.
Appeal from order, Family Court, Bronx County (Keith E. Brown, J.), entered on or about September 18, 2020, which temporarily remanded the subject child into nonkinship foster care and granted supervised visitation, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as academic.
Application by the mother's assigned counsel to withdraw as counsel is granted (see Anders v California, 386 U.S. 738 [1967]; People v Saunders, 52 A.D.2d 833 [1st Dept 1976]). We have reviewed the record and agree with assigned counsel that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on the appeal from this temporary remand order. Moreover, the Family Court's order has been superseded by its subsequent permanency order dated June 22, 2021, which, after a hearing, continued remand of the subject child, rendering the appeal from the temporary remand order academic (see Matter of Crystal G. v Marquis E., 170 A.D.3d 557 [1st Dept 2019]). THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
