MERANDO v. VANTASSEL

Ordered that the appeal is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements.

Since the child is now over 18 years of age, she is no longer subject to the order appealed from ( see Matter of DelVecchio v DelVecchio, 64 AD3d 594; Matter of McGovern v Lynch, 62 AD3d 712; Matter of Luis A.S., 33 AD3d 793, 794). Accordingly, the appeal must be dismissed as academic ( see Matter of Cruz v Cruz, 48 AD3d 804, 805; Matter of Zaim R., 43 AD3d 824; Matter of Sassower-Berlin v Berlin, 31 AD3d 771). The matter does not qualify as an exception to the mootness doctrine ( see Matter of Hearst Corp. v Clyne, 50 NY2d 707, 714-715; Matter of Ronald N., 14 AD3d 567).
