DECISION & ORDER
In a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 10, the mother appeals from a permanency hearing order of the Family Court, Westchester County (Arlene Gordon-Oliver, J.), dated March 25, 2022. The order, after a hearing, inter alia, continued the subject children's placement until the completion of the next permanency hearing or pending further order of the court.
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements.
The mother's appeal from the permanency hearing order, which, among other things, continued the children's placement until completion of the next permanency hearing or pending further order of the court, must be dismissed as academic, as the permanency hearing order has expired (see Matter of Peter T. [Shay S.P.], 173 AD3d 1046, 1047; Matter of Victoria B. [Jonathan M.], 164 AD3d 578, 580; Matter of Jayline J. [Jarren J.], 156 AD3d 701, 701).
Contrary to the mother's contention, this case does not warrant the invocation of the exception to the mootness doctrine (see Matter of Hearst Corp. v Clyne, 50 NY2d 707, 714-715).
IANNACCI, J.P., GENOVESI, VOUTSINAS and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
