April 28, 2003.
In a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 7, the appeal, as limited by the appellant's brief, is from so much of an order of fact-finding and disposition (one paper) of the Family Court, Dutchess County (Amodeo, J.), dated February 26, 2002, as placed the appellant in the custody of the Commissioner of Social Services of Dutchess County for a period of one year.
Yasmin Daley Duncan, Brooklyn, N.Y., for appellant.
Ian G. Mac Donald, County Attorney, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. (Victor A. Civitillo of counsel), for respondent.
Before: A. GAIL PRUDENTI, P.J., DAVID S. RITTER, SANDRA J. FEUERSTEIN, STEPHEN G. CRANE, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements.
The appellant's contention that the Family Court abused its discretion in placing her in the custody of the Commissioner of Social Services of Dutchess County is academic since the dispositional portion of the order has expired pursuant to its terms (see Matter of George A., 257 A.D.2d 620, 621; Matter of Jessica MM, 256 A.D.2d 1027, 1028).
PRUDENTI, P.J., RITTER, FEUERSTEIN and CRANE, JJ., concur.
