The placement has been rendered moot by the expiration of the dispositional order from which respondent appeals ( Matter of Taisha R., 14 AD3d 410). The finding of neglect is supported by a preponderance of the evidence showing, inter alia, that respondent has a history of unresolved psychiatric and drug-related problems; failed to comply with a 2005 neglect order, issued in a proceeding involving another child who was ultimately adopted, directing her to seek treatment for such conditions; used marijuana while pregnant with the subject child; and was too confused at times to address her own needs (Family Ct Act ยง 1012 [f] [i]; see Matter of Jesse DD., 223 AD2d 929, lv denied 88 NY2d 803, citing, inter alia, Matter of Madeline R., 214 AD2d 445).
