    2023 N.Y. Slip Op. 3654 (N.Y. App. Div. 2023)

    Respondent's contention that he was denied his right to a speedy hearing is unpreserved for our review (see Matter of Dashawn R., 114 A.D.3d 686, 686 [2d Dept 2014], lv denied 23 N.Y.3d 901 [2014]; Matter of Shellito D., 226 A.D.2d 1075, 1076-1077 [4th Dept 1996]), as is his contention that Family Court erred in considering hearsay evidence at the fact-finding hearing (see generally Matter of Jerome G., 192 A.D.3d 1476, 1477 [4th Dept 2021], lv denied 37 N.Y.3d 906 [2021]). We decline to exercise our power to address those contentions as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice (see id.).

  2. Oneida Cnty. Attorney v. James B. (In re Timar P.)

    217 A.D.3d 1591 (N.Y. App. Div. 2023)

    Even assuming, arguendo, that the father has standing to appeal the order, the father challenges only respondent's placement, and we conclude that his appeal is moot inasmuch as the placement has expired (seeMatter of Oscar R.M. , 213 A.D.3d 855, 855, 183 N.Y.S.3d 546 [2d Dept. 2023] ; Matter of Alvin H. , 206 A.D.3d 1658, 1658-1659, 167 N.Y.S.3d 885 [4th Dept. 2022] ; Matter of Michael H. , 99 A.D.3d 1258, 1258, 951 N.Y.S.2d 458 [4th Dept. 2012] ). Respondent's contention that he was denied his right to a speedy hearing is unpreserved for our review (seeMatter of Dashawn R. , 114 A.D.3d 686, 686, 979 N.Y.S.2d 680 [2d Dept. 2014], lv denied 23 N.Y.3d 901, 2014 WL 1775994 [2014] ; Matter of Shellito D. , 226 A.D.2d 1075, 1076-1077, 641 N.Y.S.2d 949 [4th Dept. 1996] ), as is his contention that Family Court erred in considering hearsay evidence at the fact-finding hearing (see generallyMatter of Jerome G. , 192 A.D.3d 1476, 1477, 140 N.Y.S.3d 826 [4th Dept. 2021], lv denied 37 N.Y.3d 906, 2021 WL 4098074 [2021] ).
