Appeal from an order of the Family Court, Monroe County (Thomas W. Polito, Ref.), entered September 9, 2013 in a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 6. The order, among other things, awarded sole custody of the subject child to respondent.
 

  It is hereby ordered that said appeal is unanimously dismissed without costs.
 

  Memorandum: Petitioner father appeals from an order that, among other things, denied his petition for a change of custody to him and instead awarded full custody of the parties’ child to respondent mother. While this appeal was pending, and purportedly on consent of the parties, Family Court entered an order that newly resolved the custody and visitation issues with respect to the subject child. We conclude that the
   
   *1424
   
  superseding order renders this appeal moot (see
  
   Matter of Warren v Hibbs,
  
  136 AD3d 1306, 1306 [2016];
  
   Matter of Salo v Salo,
  
  115 AD3d 1368 [2014]). We further conclude that the exception to the mootness doctrine does not apply (see
  
   Warren,
  
  136 AD3d at 1306, citing
  
   Matter of Hearst Corp. v Clyne,
  
  50 NY2d 707, 714-715 [1980]).
 

  Present — Peradotto, J.P., Lindley, NeMoyer and Scudder, JJ.
