DECISION & ORDER
In eight related proceedings pursuant to Family Court Act article 10, Frank T. appeals from (1) an order of fact-finding of the Family Court, Queens County (Joan L. Piccirillo, J.), dated September 18, 2017, and (2) an order of disposition of the same court dated October 11, 2017. The order of fact-finding, after a fact-finding hearing, determined that the appellant sexually abused the children Anisha J. and Diamond J., derivatively abused the children Antonio T., Quincy J., Emani T., Xavier J., Destiney J., and Omari T., and neglected all of the children. The order of disposition, inter alia, directed the appellant to participate in a sex offender treatment program and to comply with orders of protection in favor of the children.
ORDERED that the appeal from the order of fact-finding is dismissed, without costs or disbursements, as that order was
superseded by the order of disposition and is brought up for review on the appeal from the order of disposition; and it is further,
ORDERED that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or...
