Matter of Rene A.

Matter of Rene A. 2006 NY Slip Op 07970 [34 AD3d 223] November 2, 2006 Appellate Division, First Department Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431. As corrected through Wednesday, January 17, 2007

In the Matter of Rene A., a Person Alleged to be a Juvenile Delinquent, Appellant.

—[*1]Appeal from order of disposition, Family Court, Bronx County (Alma Cordova, J.), entered on or about August 4, 2005, which adjudicated appellant a juvenile delinquent, upon his admission that he had committed an act, which, if committed by an adult, would constitute the crime of trespass in the third degree, and placed him with the Office of Children and Family Services for a period of up to 12 months, unanimously dismissed as moot, without costs.

Appellant's challenge to the court's dispositional order is moot, since he has already completed his placement (see Matter of Yuan Tung C., 296 AD2d 323 [2002]). Were we not dismissing the appeal, we would find that the placement was a proper exercise of discretion (see Family Ct Act § 352.2 [2] [a]). Concur—Tom, J.P., Mazzarelli, Andrias, Sweeny and Malone, JJ.
