    [854 NYS2d 732]
   By order dated June 17, 2004, the Family Court, Westchester County, inter alia, awarded sole custody of the subject children to Joseph Iorio and Traci Iorio, and granted the appellant unsupervised visitation. In the first order appealed from dated August 7, 2006 the June 17, 2004 order was modified so as to grant the appellant only supervised visitation with the subject children. That order was modified by a subsequent order of the same court entered March 5, 2007 which directed that the appellant have therapeutic supervised visitation with the subject children. On September 18, 2007 the parties and the attorney for the children consented on the record that the appellant have supervised visitation with the subject children. On the same day, the Family Court issued an order directing that the appellant’s visitation merely be supervised. Therefore, as the first order dated August 7, 2006 and the order entered August 8, 2006, inter alia, dismissing petitions to modify the order dated June 17, 2004 have been superseded by the order dated September 18, 2007, the appeals from these orders have been rendered academic (see Matter of Baker v Ratoon, 251 AD2d 921, 922 [1998]; see also Matter of Paoli v Paoli, 29 AD3d 804 [2006]).

The appellant has raised no issue with respect to the second order dated August 7, 2006 granting an order of protection against him. Accordingly, he has abandoned the appeal from that order (see 22 NYCRR 670.8 [e]; Matter of Rebecca O. v Todd P., 309 AD2d 982, 983 [2003]).

We note that the appellant’s arguments regarding the order of the Family Court, Westchester County, entered March 5, 2007, are not properly before this Court, as he did not appeal from that order (see Matter of Ashley S., 129 AD2d 581 [1987]).

Motion by the respondent Traci lorio, inter alia, to dismiss appeals from two orders of the Family Court, Westchester County, both dated August 7, 2006, and an order of the same court entered August 8, 2006. By decision and order on motion of this Court dated November 9, 2007, that branch of the motion which was to dismiss the appeals was held in abeyance and was referred to the Justices hearing the appeals for determination upon the argument or submission thereof.

Upon the papers submitted in support of the motion, the papers submitted in opposition thereto, and upon the submission of the appeals, it is

Ordered that the branch of the motion which is to dismiss the appeals is denied as academic in light of our determination of the appeals [see decision herein], Mastro, J.P., Rivera, Spolzino and Dickerson, JJ., concur.
