MATTER OF HANTMAN v. HELLER

Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The petitioner is not the biological grandmother of the child, with whom she seeks visitation nor is she a legal grandparent by virtue of adoption. Accordingly she is not the child's "grandparent" within the meaning of Domestic Relations Law § 72 and thus has no right thereunder to seek visitation (see, Matter of Alison D. v. Virginia M., 77 N.Y.2d 651, 656). Mangano, P.J., O'Brien, Ritter, Pizzuto and Florio, JJ., concur.
