In the Matter of Michael J. Dale, Guardian ad Litem on Behalf of Jose Gomez, Appellant, v James R. Dumpson, as Commissioner of Social Services of the City of New York, et al., Respondents.
    Argued November 25, 1975;
    decided February 26, 1976
    
      
      Michael J. Dale, pro se, and Charles Schinitsky for Michael J. Dale, guardian ad litem for Jose Gomez, an infant, appellant.
    
      W Bernard Richland, Corporation Counsel (L. Kevin Sheridan of counsel), for respondents.
   Order reversed, without costs, and matter remitted to Supreme Court, Kings County, with directions to dismiss the proceeding for mootness. The issue presented as to the failure to provide appropriate long-term cáre to the adjudicated neglected child has become moot in view of the uncontradicted written communication to this court that the commissioner has provided such care.

Concur: Chief Judge Bkeitel and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Fuchsberg and Cooke.
