In the Matter of Jessica Lee D., an Infant. Ali C., Appellant; Harlem-Dowling-Westside Center, Respondent. [841 NYS2d 870]—Appeal from order of disposition, Family Court, New York County (Rhoda J. Cohen, J.), entered on or about May 31, 2006, which, insofar as appealed from, upon respondent-appellant‘s default, terminated his parental rights to the subject child, and committed custody and guardianship of the child to petitioner agency and the Commissioner of Social Services for purposes of adoption, unanimously dismissed, without costs.
