DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Appeals by Jusinta J.-E. from three orders of the Family Court, Queens County, dated February 23, 2024 (two orders), and August 10, 2021, respectively. Motion by the attorney for the children to dismiss so much of the appeals as challenge the release of the subject children to the non-respondent father, and dismissed the custody and visitation petitions on the ground that those issues have been rendered academic by subsequent orders. Motion by the petitioner-respondent to extend the time to serve and file a brief.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion by the attorney for the children and the papers filed in opposition thereto, and upon the papers filed in support of the motion by the petitioner-respondent and no papers having been filed in opposition or in relation thereto, it is

ORDERED that the motion by the attorney for the children is held in abeyance and referred to the panel of Justices hearing the appeals for determination upon the argument or submission thereof; and it is further,

ORDERED that the motion by the petitioner-respondent is granted, and on or before January 17, 2025, the petitioner-respondent shall serve and file the petitioner-respondent's brief via NYSCEF, if applicable, or, if NYSCEF is not mandated, serve the brief and upload a digital copy of the brief, with proof of service thereof, through the digital portal on this Court's website; and it is further,

ORDERED that on the Court's own motion, the time for the attorney for the children to serve and file a brief is extended, and on or before January 17, 2025, the attorney for the children shall serve and file a brief via NYSCEF, if applicable, or if NYSCEF is not mandated, serve the brief and upload a digital copy of the brief, with proof of service thereof, through the digital portal on this Court's website.
