Opinion
August 22, 1994
Appeal from the Family Court, Queens County (Clark, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The appellant's contention that his initial appearance was untimely was not raised in the Family Court, and we therefore do not reach the merits of that contention (see, Matter of Anthony Q., 204 A.D.2d 647; Matter of Brian S., 151 A.D.2d 577).
The appellant's contention that the court improvidently exercised its discretion in placing him in the custody of the Division for Youth for a period not to exceed 18 months is also without merit (see, Matter of Jamil W., 184 A.D.2d 513).
We have examined the appellant's remaining contention and find it to be without merit. Bracken, J.P., Sullivan, Miller and Hart, JJ., concur.
