Karen P. Simmons, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Barbara H. Dildine and Janet
Neustaetter of counsel), appellant pro se.


DECISION & ORDER

In a custody and visitation proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 6, Karen P. Simmons, the attorney for the child, appeals from an order of the Family Court, Kings County (Krauss, J.), dated November 30, 2010, which granted the petitioner father's motion to dismiss the maternal grandmother's cross petition for custody of the subject child and granted the father's petition for custody of the subject child.

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

Since the child is now over 18 years of age, she is no longer subject to the order appealed from, and the appeal must be dismissed as academic (see Matter of Merando v Vantassel, 66 AD3d 783).
MASTRO, A.P.J., ENG, BELEN and HALL, JJ., concur.
