Opinion

159.

Decided on March 26, 2009.

Order of disposition, Family Court, Bronx County (Monica Drinane, J.), entered on or about August 5, 2008, which adjudicated appellant a juvenile delinquent, upon a fact-finding determination that he committed acts, which, if committed by an adult, would constitute the crimes of robbery in the second degree, criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree and obstructing governmental administration, and placed him with the Office of Children and Family Services for a period of 18 months, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Tamara A. Steckler, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Raymond E. Rogers of counsel), for appellant.

Michael A. Cardozo, Corporation Counsel, New York (Karen M. Griffin of counsel), for presentment agency.

Andrias, J.P., Gonzalez, Buckley, Acosta, JJ.


The court's finding was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence ( see People v Danielson , 9 NY3d 342, 348-349). There is no basis for disturbing the court's determinations concerning identification and credibility ( see People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495). The evidence included the victim's identification of appellant and the recovery of the victim's property from appellant immediately after the crime. We have considered and rejected appellant's remaining claims, including those relating to the obstructing governmental administration charge.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
