DECISION & ORDER
In a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 10, the mother appeals from an order of the Family Court, Queens County (Joan L. Piccirillo, J.), dated January 18, 2023. The order granted the petitioner’s application for the continued temporary removal of the subject child from the custody of the mother pending the outcome of the proceeding.
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements.
The Administration for Children’s Services (hereinafter ACS) filed a petition alleging that the mother neglected the subject child. In an order dated January 18, 2023, the Family Court granted ACS’s application for the continued temporary removal of the child from the mother’s custody pending the outcome of the proceeding. The mother appeals.
The appeal from the order directing the continued temporary removal of the child must be dismissed as academic, because that order was superseded by a subsequent order (see Matter of Nicholas M. [Robert M.], 224 A.D.3d 689, 205 N.Y.S.3d 150).
DILLON, J.P., DOWLING, TAYLOR and VENTURA, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that the motion to dismiss the appeal is denied.
