In re Rasheen Lamont J.

—Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: Family Court’s finding of permanent neglect is supported by clear and convincing evidence. Despite diligent efforts by petitioner to encourage and strengthen the parent-child relationship, respondent mother failed to plan for the future of her child for a period of more than one year following the child’s placement with petitioner although physically and financially able to do so (see, Social Services Law § 384-b [7]; Matter of Sheila G., 61 NY2d 368, 373; Matter of Richard X., 226 AD2d 762, 763, lv denied 88 NY2d 808).

The record…
