DECISION & ORDER
In two related proceedings pursuant to Social Services Law § 384-b to terminate parental rights on the ground of permanent neglect, the father appeals from two orders of the Family Court, Kings County (Alan Beckhoff, J.), both dated July 12, 2017. The orders denied the father's motion for leave to file late papers relating to an earlier order of the same court dated November 27, 2015, which, inter alia, terminated his parental rights to the subject children.
ORDERED that the orders dated July 12, 2017, are affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Under the circumstances of this case, we agree with the Family Court's denial of the father's motion. To the extent the father's contentions relate to matters beyond the scope of the issues decided in the orders appealed from, they have not been considered.
