it, and the appeal therefore must be dismissed (see CPLR 5511; Matter of State of New York v Cuevas, 49 AD3d 1324 , 1326-1327 [2008]). In addition, the appeal has been rendered moot by a subsequent order pursuant to Mental Hygiene Law article 10 directing the confinement of respondent as a dangerous sex offender (see generally People ex rel. Maldonado v Williams, 67 AD3d 1328 [2009]), and the exception to the mootness doctrine does not apply herein (cf. Cuevas, 49 AD3d at 1325-1326 ; see generally Matter of Hearst Corp. v Clyne, 50 NY2d 707 , 714-715 [1980]). Present — Scudder, P.J., Sconiers, Green and Gorski, JJ.
