Head Matter:
In the Matter of Brianna C. and Others, Infants. Joseph W., Appellant, v Erie County Children’s Services, Respondent.
[979 NYS2d 889]

Opinion:
Appeal from an order of the Family Court, Erie County (Margaret O. Szczur, J.), entered August 15, 2012 in a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 10. The order dismissed the petition.
It is hereby ordered that the order so appealed from is unanimously affirmed without costs.
Memorandum: On appeal from an order dismissing his petition seeking modification of an order of protection, petitioner contends that Family Court erred in dismissing the petition because the Attorney for the Children (AFC) and respondent failed to make written motions to dismiss, and he further contends that the AFC and respondent failed to comply with other requirements of the CPLR with respect to motions. Petitioner failed to object to the motions on the grounds now asserted, and therefore has not preserved his contentions for our review (see Matter of Damion D., 42 AD3d 715, 716 [2007]). Present — Smith, J.P, Peradotto, Lindley, Sconiers and Valentino, JJ.
