IN THE MATTER OF SHANITA V. (ANONYMOUS), appellant. (Docket No. D-10699/02).

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the appeal from the fact-finding order is dismissed, without costs or disbursements, as that order was superseded by the order of disposition; and it is further,

ORDERED that the appeal from so much of the order of disposition as placed the appellant in the custody of the New York State Office of Children and Family Services for a period of 12 months is dismissed as academic, as the period of placement has expired ( see Matter of Wanji W., 305 A.D.2d 690), and as, in any event, since the appellant consented to the terms of the disposition, she was not aggrieved thereby ( see Matter of Stevenson J., 306 A.D.2d 412, 413; Matter of Nicole G., 274 A.D.2d 478, 479); and it is further,

ORDERED that the order of disposition is affirmed insofar as reviewed, without costs or disbursements.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the presentment agency ( see Matter of Rasean B., ___ A.D.3d ___ [2d Dept, May 3, 2004]; Matter of Joseph J., 205 A.D.2d 776, 777; cf. People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the appellant committed acts, which, if committed by an adult, would have constituted the crimes of criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree ( see Penal Law § 165.40) and petit larceny ( see Penal Law § 155.25). Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the Family Court's fact-finding determination was not against the weight of the evidence ( see Matter of Kevin M., A.D.3d [2d Dept, Apr. 19, 2004]; Matter of Edwin B., 266 A.D.2d 210; cf. CPL 470.15).

RITTER, J.P., TOWNES, MASTRO and SKELOS, JJ., concur.
