IN THE MATTER OF CHRISTINA B
ORDERED that the notice of appeal from the fact-finding order is deemed a premature notice of appeal from the order of disposition ( see CPLR 5520[c]); and it is further,
ORDERED that the appeal from so much of the order of disposition as placed the children with the Administration for Children's Services until November 14, 2003, is dismissed as academic, as the period of placement has expired ( see Matter of Christina C., 3 A.D.3d 564; Matter of Sam G., 294 A.D.2d 363; Matter of Jacqueline S., 284 A.D.2d 398); and it is further,
ORDERED that the order of disposition is affirmed insofar as reviewed, without costs or disbursements.
We have reviewed the record and agree with the appellant'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, supra; Matter of Bianca C., 309 A.D.2d 932; Matter of Alexis B., 292 A.D.2d 604).
The mother has not raised any nonfrivolous issues in her supplemental pro se brief. The Family Court's finding of neglect against the mother due to drug abuse is supported by the testimony and by documentary evidence adduced at the hearing ( see Family Ct Act ยงยง 1012[f][i][B], 1046[a][iii]; Matter of Nassau County Dept. of Social Servs. v. Denise J., 87 N.Y.2d 73; Matter of Sidney S., 292 A.D.2d 534; Matter of Krewsean S., 273 A.D.2d 393).
S. MILLER, J.P., ADAMS, COZIER and RIVERA, JJ., concur.
