Michael E. Lipson, Jericho, NY, for appellant.

Warren & Warren, P.C., Brooklyn, NY (Ira L. Eras of counsel), for respondent Everlidess Maldonado.

Zachary W. Carter, Corporation Counsel, New York, NY (Deborah A. Brenner and Aaron M. Bloom of counsel), for respondent Administration for Children's Services.

Appeal by the petitioner from an order of the Family Court, Kings County (Edward W. Yuskevich, Ct. Atty. Ref.), dated April 21, 2016. The order dismissed, without a hearing, the petition for visitation, with prejudice.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The Family Court lacks the authority to direct continuing contact between a parent and child where, as here, the petitioning parent's parental rights have been involuntarily terminated and the children have been freed for adoption (see Matter of Hailey ZZ. [Ricky ZZ.], 19 N.Y.3d 422, 438, 948 N.Y.S.2d, 972 N.E.2d 87; Matter of Joshua J.C. [Jose C.], 145 A.D.3d 883, 884–885, 45 N.Y.S.3d 111 ; Matter of Jamel D.G. [Monique G.], 108 A.D.3d 766, 767, 971 N.Y.S.2d 303 ). Accordingly, the Family Court properly dismissed, without a hearing, the petition for visitation, with prejudice.

BALKIN, J.P., HINDS–RADIX, DUFFY and CONNOLLY, JJ., concur.
