ALTHOUGH THE FINDING MOTHER WAS MENTALLY ILL WAS NOT APPEALABLE AS OF RIGHT, BECAUSE OF THE STIGMA THE COURT DEEMED THE NOTICE OF APPEAL TO BE A REQUEST FOR LEAVE TO APPEAL AND HEARD THE APPEAL (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department noted that a finding mother is mentally ill within the meaning of the Social Services Law is not, as a nondispositional order, appealable as of right. However, because of the stigma attached to the finding, the court deemed the notice of appeal to be a request for leave to appeal and granted it. The mental illness finding was affirmed:

Although this nondispositional order is not appealable as of right (see Family Ct Act § 1112[a]), the finding that the mother is mentally ill within the meaning of Social Services Law § 384-b constitutes a permanent and significant stigma that might impact her status in future proceedings … . Accordingly, the Court, on its own motion, deems the notice of appeal to be a request for leave to appeal, and hereby grants leave to appeal … . Matter of Chad Nasir S. (Charity Simone S.), 2018 NY Slip Op 00026, First Dept 1-2-18
