February 16, 2000
Appeal from Order of Steuben County Family Court, Bradstreet, J. — Juvenile Delinquency.
PRESENT: WISNER, J. P., PIGOTT, JR., HURLBUTT AND BALIO, JJ.
Appeal unanimously dismissed without costs.
Memorandum:
Respondent appeals from an order of disposition that placed him in the custody of the Steuben County Department of Social Services for a 14-month period, until August 30, 1999. That order expired and the appeal is moot ( see, Matter of Michael OO., 267 A.D.2d 638 [decided Dec. 9, 1999]; Matter of Alice P., 254 A.D.2d 770). This appeal fails to satisfy the "three critical conditions to the mootness exception" ( Matter of Chenier v. Richard W., 82 N.Y.2d 830, 832; see also, Mental Hygiene Legal Servs. v. Ford, 92 N.Y.2d 500, 505-506; but see, Matter of Jennifer B., 256 A.D.2d 1195 ), and there is no indication in the record that respondent is still being affected by that order ( see, Matter of Chenier v. Richard W., supra, at 832). Consequently, we dismiss the appeal.
