Friedman, J.P., Richter, Gesmer, Kern, Moulton, JJ.
Appeal from order, Family Court, New York County (Carol Goldstein, J.), entered on or about October 17, 2017, which extended appellant's placement with the Administration for Children's Services for an additional 12–month period, unanimously dismissed as moot, without costs.
This appeal is moot because the extension of placement has expired and has been superseded by an order on consent that extended the placement for six additional months (see e. g. Matter of Gabriel N., 144 A.D.3d 443, 39 N.Y.S.3d 785 [1st Dept. 2016] ). In any event, the 12–month extension was a provident exercise of discretion.
