Order, Family Court, New York County (Clark V. Richardson, J.), entered on or aboutOctober 25, 2010, which, after a hearing, found that respondent had neglected the subject child,unanimously affirmed, without costs. Appeal from order of disposition, same court and Judge,entered on or about February 16, 2011, which placed the child in the custody of theCommissioner for Social Services for the City of New York until the completion of the nextpermanency hearing, unanimously dismissed, without costs.
The finding of neglect was supported by a preponderance of the evidence. Under thecircumstances presented, the court properly found that the child's physical, mental or emotionalcondition was in imminent danger of becoming impaired (see Family Ct Act §1012 [f] [i]; see [*2]also Matter of Kayla W., 47 AD3d 571, 572 [2008]).Respondent's appeal from the dispositional order is dismissed, since its placement terms haveexpired (see Matter of Pedro C.[Josephine B.], 1 AD3d 267 [2003]).
