In a juvenile delinquency proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 3, the appeal is from (1) an order of disposition of the Family Court, Nassau County (Lawrence, J.), dated May 23, 2003,
Ordered that the appeals from so much of the orders of disposition as placed the appellant in the custody of the New York State Office of Children and Family Services for a period of one year are dismissed; and it is further,
Ordered that the orders of disposition are affirmed insofar as reviewed, without costs or disbursements.
Contrary to the appellant’s contention, he received the effective assistance of counsel at the fact-finding and dispositional proceedings (see People v Benevento, 91 NY2d 708 [1998]; People v Baldi, 54 NY2d 137 [1981]; People v Brown, 253 AD2d 826 [1998]). Moreover, at the dispositional hearing held on May 23, 2003, the appellant consented to the placement imposed and waived a further dispositional hearing. Accordingly, the appeals from so much of the orders of disposition as placed the appellant in the custody of the New York State Office of Children and Family Services must be dismissed as the appellant is not aggrieved thereby (see Matter of Shamasia M., 4 AD3d 359 [2004]; Matter of Stevenson J., 306 AD2d 412, 413 [2003]; Matter of Jonathan G., 278 AD2d 324 [2000]). Altman, J.P., Goldstein, Adams and Crane, JJ., concur.
