Kane, J. Appeal from an order of the Family Court of Broome County (Connerton, J.),entered August 16, 2007, which granted petitioner's application, in a proceeding pursuant toFamily Ct Act article 10-A, to approve petitioner's permanency plan for respondent's child.

Respondent appeals from Family Court's August 2007 order which approved petitioner'spermanency plan with a goal to free respondent's daughter for adoption. Based on the court'sMarch 2008 order approving a subsequent permanency plan, this appeal is moot (see Matter of Shontae R., 48 AD3d1006, 1006 [2008]; see also Matterof Kila DD., 34 AD3d 1168, 1169 [2006]; Matter of Jolyssa EE., 28 AD3d 824, 825 [2006]; Matter of LisaZ., 276 AD2d 853, 853 [2000]). As no exception to the mootness doctrine is present, wedismiss the appeal.

Mercure, J.P., Spain, Carpinello and Kavanagh, JJ., concur. Ordered that the appeal isdismissed, as moot, without costs.
