Ordered that the appeal is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements.
The only issue raised by the appellant concerns that portion of the order of disposition whichplaced him in the custody of the Commissioner of Social Services of the County of Westchesterfor a period of 12 months for placement in a residential treatment facility.
