Opinion
Nos. 2009-00298, (Docket No. V-03148-08).
December 22, 2009.
In a child custody proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 6, the father appeals from an order of the Family Court, Orange County (Klein, J.), dated December 1, 2008, which, after a hearing, granted the paternal grandmother's petition for sole custody of the oldest child.
Nancy J. Schneider, Washingtonville, N.Y., for appellant.
Christopher B. Kleister, Washingtonville, N.Y., for petitioner-respondent. Ronna L. DeLoe, Mamaroneck, N.Y., attorney for the child.
Before: Skelos, J.P., Dickerson, Eng and Sgroi, JJ., concur.
Ordered that the appeal is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements.
Since the subject child is now over 18 years of age, she is no longer subject to the order appealed from ( see Matter of McGovern v Lynch, 62 AD3d 712; Matter of Sassower-Berlin v Berlin, 31 AD3d 771, 772). Accordingly, the appeal has been rendered academic.
