Opinion
7352.
December 13, 2005.
Order of disposition, Family Court, Bronx County (Carol Stokinger, J.), entered on or about September 24, 2001, which, upon a fact-finding determination that appellant, a person then legally responsible for the subject child, had neglected him, placed the child with the Administration for Children's Services for a period of 12 months, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Before: Mazzarelli, J.P., Saxe, Friedman, Sullivan and Williams, JJ., concur.
The finding of neglect was supported by a preponderance of the evidence which demonstrated that appellant's home was unsafe and that appellant's mental state was such that the subject child was in imminent danger ( see e.g. Matter of Danielle M., 151 AD2d 240).
Appellant's argument on appeal with respect to the denial of her application pursuant to Family Court Act § 1028 for return of the subject child pending completion of neglect proceedings has been rendered moot by Family Court's subsequent fact-finding determination of neglect ( Matter of Rasheeda L., 264 AD2d 649).
Appellant's arguments regarding the dispositional order have been rendered moot by a subsequent order extending the placement, from which no appeal has been taken ( Matter of F. Children, 199 AD2d 81). These arguments are without merit in any event. We note that the Jamaican authorities determined that appellant no longer had a right to adopt the subject Jamaican orphan.
