DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the appeals are dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements.
In Matter of Wesley R. 307 A.D.2d 360 (Appellate Division Docket Nos. 2001-05367 and 2002-07023, decided herewith), we concluded that a new hearing as to the permanency plan for the child is warranted in light of the change of circumstances that has occurred since the date of the prior hearing pursuant to Family Court Act § 1055-a. Because that is the relief requested by the appellants herein, the present appeals have been rendered academic ( see Matter of Tabitha LL., 216 A.D.2d 651). No exception to the mootness doctrine applies.
PRUDENTI, P.J., ALTMAN, SMITH and ADAMS, JJ., concur.
