DECISION & ORDER

In a proceeding pursuant to Social Services Law § 384-b, the mother appeals from an order of fact-finding and disposition of the Family Court, Rockland County (Christopher J. Exias, J.), dated August 15, 2024. The order of fact-finding and disposition, after fact-finding and dispositional hearings, found that the mother permanently neglected the subject child, terminated the mother's parental rights, and transferred guardianship and custody of the subject child to the Rockland County Department of Social Services for the purpose of adoption.

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

This appeal must be dismissed because the order of fact-finding and disposition was superseded by a corrected order of fact-finding and disposition dated March 3, 2025 (see Matter of Bryant D. [Brianna G.], ___ AD3d ___ [Appellate Division Docket No. 2025-03257; decided herewith]).

CHAMBERS, J.P., CHRISTOPHER, VOUTSINAS and HOM, JJ., concur.
