DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the appeal from so much of the order of fact-finding and disposition as directed that an order of protection be entered against the appellant is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements, as the order of protection has expired (see Matter of Joey T., 185 A.D.2d 851; see also Matter of Jaime D., 295 A.D.2d 346); and it is further,

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

The court's determination that the subject children were neglected is supported by a preponderance of the evidence (see Family Ct Act § 1046[b][i]; Family Ct Act § 1012[f][i][B]; see also Matter of Douglas E., 191 A.D.2d 694).

The appellant was not deprived of her right to the effective assistance of counsel (see Family Ct Act § 262[a][i]; Matter of Alfred C. [Richard C.], 237 A.D.2d 517).

ALTMAN, J.P., KRAUSMAN, SCHMIDT and CRANE, JJ., concur.
