DECISION & ORDER
Appeal from an order of disposition of the Family Court, Suffolk County (Richard Hoffman, J.), dated July 1, 2015. The order, after a hearing, inter alia, found that the father is a suitable resource for the subject children and granted his application for the return of the children to his custody until December 17, 2015.
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements.
The Suffolk County Department of Social Services appeals from an order of disposition which, among other things, found that the father is a suitable resource for the subject children and granted his application for the return of the children to his custody until December 17, [*2]2015. The appeal has been rendered academic, since the order expired by its own terms on December 17, 2015, and the children have been returned to the custody of the mother. Therefore, any corrective measures which this Court might take would have no practical effect (see Matter of Ernest Y. v Orange County Dept. of Social Servs., 9 AD3d 411).
LEVENTHAL, J.P., MILLER, MALTESE and DUFFY, JJ., concur.
