Ordered that the appeal from the order of protection is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements; and it is further,
Ordered that the order approving the petitioner's permanency goal is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The order of protection appealed from expired by its own terms on April 14, 2009. Under the facts of this case, the issuance of the order of protection did not constitute a permanent and significant stigma which might indirectly affect the father's status in potential future proceedings ( see Matter of Draven B., 52 AD3d 704).
We have reviewed the record and agree with the father's assigned counsel that there are no nonfrivolous issues which could be raised on appeal. Counsel's application for leave to withdraw as counsel is granted ( see Anders v California, 386 US 738; People v Paige, 54 AD2d 631; cf. People v Gonzalez, 47 NY2d 606).
