In the Matter of LEAH S. and Others, Infants. ORLEANS COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, Respondent. JESSICA T., Appellant.

It is hereby ordered that said appeal is unanimously dismissed without costs.

Memorandum: On appeal from an order of fact-finding and disposition finding that respondent mother abused her children and ordering, inter alia, that visitation between the mother and three of her children "shall occur only if the [petitioner] deems it appropriate and as outlined in the companion Article 6 Custody Order," the mother's sole contention is that Family Court improperly delegated to petitioner its authority to determine whether visitation was appropriate. While we agree with the mother with respect to the merits of her contention ( see Matter of Hameed v Alatawaneh, 19 AD3d 1135; Matter of Battista v Battista, 294 AD2d 941; Wills v Wills, 283 AD2d 1023), we conclude that, because the order on appeal has expired, this appeal is moot ( see e.g. Matter of Julia R., 52 AD3d 1310, lv denied 11 NY3d 709; Matter of Abbi M., 37 AD3d 1084; Matter of Michael G., 300 AD2d 1144).
