COLLEEN D. DUFFY, J.P., ROBERT J. MILLER, WILLIAM G. FORD, LAURENCE L. LOVE, JJ. DECISION & ORDER
In related proceedings pursuant to Family Court Act article 10, Jason B. appeals from an order of disposition of the Family Court, Queens County (Emily Ruben, J.), dated April 26, 2022. The order of disposition, upon an order of fact-finding of the same court dated April 22, 2022, made after a fact-finding hearing, inter alia, finding that Jason B. derivatively abused and neglected the subject children, and after a dispositional hearing, upon the consent of Jason B., released the subject children to the custody of their nonrespondent mother.
[1, 2] ORDERED that the appeal from so much of the order of disposition as, upon the consent of Jason B., released the subject children to the custody of their nonrespondent mother is dismissed, without costs or disbursements, as no appeal lies from an order entered upon the consent of the appealing party (see Matter of Jonathan G., 278 A.D.2d 324, 325, 717 N.Y.S.2d 339); and it is further,
ORDERED that the order of disposition is affirmed insofar as reviewed, without costs or disbursements.
The underlying facts for this appeal can be found in our decision and order on a related appeal decided herewith (Matter of Nyla S. [Anonymous], 224 A.D.3d 691, 205 N.Y.S.3d 167 [decided herewith]). The Family Court properly found that Jason B. derivatively abused and neglected the children Jair B. and Jaden B. (see generally Matter of Naphtali A. [Winifred A.], 165 AD3d 781, 784, 85 N.Y.S.3d 512).
