DECISION & ORDER
In related child protective proceedings pursuant to article 10 of the Family Court Act, and proceedings pursuant to Social Services Law § 384-b to terminate the parental rights of the mother, the mother appeals from three orders of disposition (one as to each child), of the Family Court, Queens County (Carol Ann Stokinger, J.), each dated August 13, 2018. The orders of disposition, insofar as appealed from, after a dispositional hearing at which the mother failed to appear, and upon the determination of the same court in the article 10 proceedings that the mother severely abused the child Yeury I. R. and derivatively severely abused the children Yislaily E. R. and Guillermo E. T. R., terminated the mother's parental rights, and transferred guardianship and custody of the children to the Commissioner of Social Services of the City of New York and SCO Family of Services for the purpose of adoption. Assigned counsel has submitted a brief in accordance with Anders v California (386 US 738), in which she moves to be relieved of her assignment to prosecute this appeal.
ORDERED that the orders of disposition are affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
We are satisfied with the sufficiency of the brief filed by the assigned counsel pursuant to Anders v California (386 US 738), and, upon an independent review of the record, we conclude that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on the appeals. Counsel's application for leave to withdraw as counsel is, therefore, granted (see id.; Matter of Whittaker v Quiles, 144 AD3d 931; Matter of Giovanni S. [Jasmin A.], 89 AD3d 252).
