In a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 6, the appeal is from an order of the Family Court, Kings County (Sharon A. Bourne-Clarke, J.), dated November 15, 2016. The order, after a hearing, inter alia, awarded the father custody of the subject children.

DECISION & ORDER
By order to show cause dated January 31, 2018, the Children's Law Center and counsel for the father were directed to show cause before this Court why an order should or should not be made and entered dismissing the appeal.
Upon the order to show cause, and upon the argument of the appeal, it is
ORDERED that the motion to dismiss the appeal is granted; and it is further,
ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.
The Children's Law Center had no authority to file a notice of appeal, or to appear, on behalf of the children, Jalen M. and Kai M., as the Children's Law Center was relieved as attorney for the children on November 15, 2016.
MASTRO, J.P., DILLON, COHEN and IANNACCI, JJ., concur.
