Opinion

July 1, 1996

Appeal from the Family Court, Kings County (Palmer, J., Burstein, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed, with one bill of costs to the respondents appearing separately and filing separate briefs.

"The sole remedy of a foster parent upon the removal of a child from [his or] her care is to seek a hearing pursuant to Social Services Law § 400" ( Matter of New York City Dept. of Social Servs. [Tahira L.], 203 A.D.2d 575, 576). "If unsatisfied with the result of that hearing, the foster parent may bring a petition under CPLR article 78" ( Matter of New York City Dept. of Social Servs. [Tahira L.], supra, at 576; see, Matter of Michael B., 80 N.Y.2d 299; People ex rel. Ninesling v. Nassau County Dept. of Social Servs., 46 N.Y.2d 382; Matter of Rivers v. Womack, 178 A.D.2d 532). Accordingly, the foster parents' application, which sought, inter alia, to vacate the April 4, 1994, order pursuant to CPLR 5015 (a) (3), was improper. Rosenblatt, J.P., Ritter, Copertino and Santucci, JJ., concur.
