IN THE MATTER OF JAIME D. (ANONYMOUS)

ORDERED that the appeal from the order of protection and the appeal from so much of the order of fact-finding and disposition as placed the children in the custody of the mother until October 5, 2000, and directed him to comply with the order of protection are dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements; and it is further,

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

The father's appeal from the order of protection dated November 15, 1999, and from so much of the order of fact-finding and disposition as placed the children in the custody of the mother and directed him to comply with the order of protection, must be dismissed as academic because the orders have expired by their own terms (see Matter of Danielle S., 282 A.D.2d 680; Matter of Susan B., 264 A.D.2d 478). Nevertheless, the adjudication of neglect has not been rendered academic (see Matter of Eddie E., 219 A.D.2d 719; Matter of H. Children, 156 A.D.2d 520).

We have reviewed the record and agree with the father'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, 386 U.S. 738; Matter of Alexis B., 292 A.D.2d 604 [2d Dept, March 25, 2002]; Matter of M. Children, 286 A.D.2d 736).
