Opinion
December 27, 2000.
Appeal from Order of Wayne County Family Court, Kehoe, J. — Person In Need Of Supervision.
PRESENT: PIGOTT, JR., P. J., HAYES, WISNER, SCUDDER AND LAWTON, JJ.
Appeal from order insofar as it concerns placement unanimously dismissed and order affirmed without costs.
Memorandum:
Respondent appeals from an order adjudicating her a person in need of supervision and placing her in the custody of the Commissioner of Social Services (Commissioner) for a period expiring on December 21, 2000. Respondent contends that placement with the Commissioner is not an appropriate disposition; that the order fails to comply with Family Court Act § 754 (2) because it does not state the rationale for the placement; and that Family Court failed to comply with Family Court Act § 741 (a) by advising her of her right to remain silent during the dispositional hearing. All of those contentions are moot because the placement order expired on December 21, 2000 ( see, Matter of Jessica MM ., 256 A.D.2d 1027, 1028; Matter of Alex N., 255 A.D.2d 626, 627; Matter of Kristie II., 252 A.D.2d 807, 808), and this matter does not fall within the exceptions to the mootness doctrine ( cf., Matter of Kevin R., 251 A.D.2d 1022, 1023).
Finally, respondent contends that the court violated her right to a speedy disposition pursuant to Family Court Act § 749 (b) and thus the petition should be dismissed. Because the Law Guardian did not move to dismiss the petition on that ground, that right was waived ( see, Matter of Harry J., 191 A.D.2d 1016, 1017).
