DECISION & ORDER

In related proceedings pursuant to Family Court Act article 10, the subject child appeals from an order of disposition of the Family Court, Rockland County (Rachel E. Tanguay, J.), dated November 24, 2017. The order of disposition, inter alia, placed the subject child in the custody of the Commissioner of the Westchester County Department of Social Services for a period of six months.

ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements.

Where an order of disposition has expired by its own terms, an appeal therefrom concerning the disposition is academic (see Matter of Naphtali A. [Winifred A.], 165 AD3d 781, 783; Matter of Denise V.E.J. [Latonia J.], 163 AD3d 667, 669; Matter of Christopher D.B. [Lorraine H.], 157 AD3d 944, 948; Matter of Michael B. [Samantha B.], 130 AD3d 619, 620; Matter of Kyanna T. [Winston R.], 99 AD3d 1011, 1013; Matter of Chaim R. [Keturah Ponce R.], 94 AD3d 1127, 1129; Matter of Alexis C., 27 AD3d 646). Here, the order of disposition appealed from explicitly expired in six months, i.e., in May 2018. Accordingly, the appeal must be dismissed as academic.

SCHEINKMAN, P.J., HINDS-RADIX, LASALLE and BARROS, JJ., concur.
