MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Aarons, J.
Appeal from an amended order of the Family Court of Sullivan County (McGuire, J.), entered February 8, 2018, which, in a proceeding pursuant to Family Ct Act article 10, temporarily removed the subject child from respondent's custody.
Respondent is the mother of a son (born in 2018). In February 2018, petitioner commenced this neglect proceeding against respondent and sought a temporary removal of the child. Following a hearing, Family Court found that the child was in imminent danger and temporarily removed him from respondent's custody. Respondent appeals.
This Court has been advised that subsequent to the issuance of the February 2018 amended order, an order was entered with respondent's consent in which a third party would have custody of the child and respondent would have supervised visitation. In view of the foregoing, respondent's appeal from the amended order is moot (see Matter of Neveah A. [Shannon D.], 144 AD3d 1431, 1431 [2016]), and we find that the exception to the mootness [*2]doctrine does not apply (see generally Matter of Hearst Corp. v Clyne, 50 NY2d 707, 714-715 [1980]).
Lynch, J.P., Mulvey, Devine and Pritzker, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
