Accordingly, this appeal is academic, and the issue raised is not sufficiently substantial or novel to warrant invoking an exception to the mootness doctrine (see Matter of Anonymous v New York City Health & Hosps. Corp., 70 NY2d 972 , 974 [1988]; Matter of David C., 69 NY2d 796 , 798 [1987]; Matter of Geraldine P., 27 AD3d 755 , 756 [2006]; Matter of Fernando L., 13 AD3d 450 , 451 [2004]; Matter of Kelvin S., 267 AD2d 241 [1999]; Matter of Richard S., 242 AD2d 575 , 576 [1997]).
