CONNOLLY LINDA CHRISTOPHER, JJ. 2020-00156 (Docket No. V-23107-18) [*1]In the Matter of Angelo Berrio Quintero, petitioner- respondent, v Joyce Sanchez, appellant, Administration for Children's Services, respondent-respondent. Richard J. Cardinale, Brooklyn, NY, for appellant. Olga J. Rodriguez, P.C., Forest Hills, NY, for petitioner-respondent. James E. Johnson, Corporation Counsel, New York, NY (Rebecca L. Visgaitis and Julia Bedell of counsel), for respondent-respondent. Janet E. Sabel, New York, NY (Dawne A. Mitchell and Susan Clement of counsel), attorney for the child. DECISION & ORDER In a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 6, the mother appeals from an order of the Family Court, Queens County (Joan L. Piccirillo, J.), dated July 2, 2019. The order, upon the consent of the parties, granted the father's petition for sole custody of the subject child. ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements. The record reflects that during an appearance before the Family Court, the mother consented on the record to the order awarding sole custody of the subject child to the father. No appeal lies from an order entered upon consent of the appealing party (see CPLR 5511; Matter of Chloe W [Tara W.], 188 AD3d 707, 708; Matter of Jessica M. v Julio G.R., 176 AD3d 584; Matter of Abigail R. [Ishwardat R.], 125 AD3d 780, 781; Cooper v Administration for Children's Servs., 293 AD2d 605). To the extent that the mother contends that her consent to the order was not voluntary or was otherwise invalid, her remedy is to move in the Family Court to vacate the order (see Matter of Rinaldi v Faiella, 172 AD3d 871, 872; Matter of Comoletti v Papapietro, 171 AD3d 745, 746; Matter of Sasha J.J. [Danielle L.], 144 AD3d 681, 682; Elsayed v Edrees, 141 AD3d 503, 504). HINDS-RADIX, J.P., LASALLE, CONNOLLY and CHRISTOPHER, JJ., concur. ENTER: Aprilanne Agostino Clerk of the Court
