IN THE MATTER OF DAWN N., A PERMANENTLY NEGLECTED CHILD. ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, Respondent; ROBERT N., Appellant. (AND THREE OTHER RELATED PROCEEDINGS.).

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Rose, J.

This Court previously reviewed and affirmed several Family Court orders that, among other things, adjudicated three of respondent's children neglected, terminated his parental rights as to two of his children, placed all four of his children in petitioner's custody and granted orders of protection prohibiting contact between respondent and his children (see Matter of Curtis N. [Robert N.], 302 A.D.2d 803, lv dismissed 100 N.Y.2d 535; Matter of Curtis N. [Robert N.], 302 A.D.2d 803, lv denied 100 N.Y.2d 503; Matter of Curtis N. [Robert N.], 290 A.D.2d 755, lv dismissed 97 N.Y.2d 749; Matter of Curtis N. [Robert N.], 288 A.D.2d 774,lv denied 97 N.Y.2d 610). In June 2002, petitioner applied to, among other things, continue the foster placements of respondent's four children and extend the orders of protection against respondent for the two children with whom he still has parental rights. With respondent's counseled consent and reserving his right to file future petitions for custody, visitation or adoption, Family Court granted each of petitioner's four applications. Respondent has appealed each order.

These appeals must be dismissed since respondent cannot be considered an aggrieved party within the meaning of CPLR 5511. Having consented to the orders issued by Family Court, respondent is simply not aggrieved and therefore has no grounds for appeal (see Matter of Denise JJ. v. Aaron II., 278 A.D.2d 548, 549; Matter of Oropallo v. Tecler, 263 A.D.2d 716, 718;Matter of Carmella J. [Ymelda J.], 254 A.D.2d 70, 70;Matter of Lockett S. v. Onya S., 247 A.D.2d 622, 622).

Crew III, J.P., Carpinello, Lahtinen and Kane, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that the appeals are dismissed, without costs.
