MATTER OF JOHNSON v. BOONE

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department.
Dec 21, 2001

Appeal unanimously dismissed without costs.

Memorandum:

Respondent appeals from an order of commitment directing that he be held in jail for four months for his willful violation of a child support order. The order of disposition finding a willful violation was made upon respondent's default, and thus respondent's contention that the violation was not willful is not properly before us ( see, CPLR 5511; Hines v. Hines, 125 A.D.2d 946). Respondent's further contention concerning the jail term imposed is moot inasmuch as the order of commitment has since expired ( cf., Matter of Bickwid v. Deutsch, 87 N.Y.2d 862).
