In the Matter of Lauren L. and Another, Permanently Neglected Children.Clinton County Department of Social Services, Respondent; Cassi M.,Appellant.

[*1]Diane Webster-Brady, Plattsburgh, for appellant.

Omshanti E. Parnes, Plattsburgh, attorney for the children.

Lahtinen, J. Appeal from two orders of the Family Court of Clinton County (Lawliss, J.), enteredJuly 23, 2009, which granted petitioner's application, in a proceeding pursuant to Family Ct Act article10-A, to extend the placement of respondent's two children.

The permanency orders on appeal have been replaced by subsequent orders and, accordingly, thecurrent appeal is moot (see Matter of ArielFF., 63 AD3d 1202, 1203 [2009]). Indeed, those subsequent orders are before us in aseparate appeal (Matter of Lauren L. [Cassi M.], 79 AD3d 1193; [2010] [decided herewith]).We further note that the issues implicated in both appeals are similar and, in our decision in thecompanion case, we affirmed Family Court (id.).

Rose, J.P., Stein, McCarthy and Garry, JJ., concur. Ordered that the appeal is dismissed, as moot,without costs.
