Mugglin, J.

Respondent, the father of three children, admitted that he had sexual contact with his eldest daughter and consented, as a part of this admission, to a finding of derivative neglect of the two younger siblings. He appeals, arguing only that the conduct to which he admitted was insufficient to support a finding of derivative neglect.

An adjudication of neglect entered upon the consent of a respondent cannot be reviewed on appeal, as the respondent is not an aggrieved party ( see Matter of Elijah Q., 36 AD3d 974, 975, lv denied 8 NY3d 809; Matter of Amber W, 22 AD3d 967, 968, Iv denied 6 NY3d 708). Consequently, the appeal must be dismissed.

Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, without costs.
