Opinion

April 10, 2001.

April 30, 2001.

Salvatore C. Adamo, New York, N.Y., for appellant.

Richard B. Golden, County Attorney, Goshen, N.Y. (Stephen Toole of counsel), for respondent.

Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., LEO F. McGINITY, HOWARD MILLER, SANDRA L. TOWNES, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

In a proceeding to revoke a judicial surrender of her youngest child for adoption, the petitioner appeals from an order of the Family Court, Orange County (Kiedaisch, J.), dated July 19, 1999, which dismissed the petition without a hearing.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

Under the circumstances, the Family Court properly dismissed the petition without a hearing (see, Matter of Female R., 202 A.D.2d 340). Additionally, the record indicates that the appellant knowingly, willingly, and voluntarily waived her right to counsel (cf., Matter of Child Welfare Admin. v. Jennifer A., 218 A.D.2d 694; Matter of F. Children, 199 A.D.2d 81).
