Matter of Kawame

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

213 A.D.2d 634 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

March 27, 1995

Appeal from the Family Court, Kings County (Esquirol, J.).


Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

There is no merit to the appellant's contention that the evidence adduced at the hearing is not legally sufficient to support the fact-finding order. The complainant testified that the appellant was among a group of youths who beat him and stole his money. That testimony is sufficient to establish that the appellant, acting in concert with others, committed acts which, if committed by an adult, would constitute the crimes of robbery in the second degree (see, Penal Law § 160.10) and grand larceny in the fourth degree (see, Penal Law § 155.30).

The Family Court's determination that the appellant's alibi witness was not worthy of belief is supported by the record, and, therefore will not be disturbed on appeal (see, Matter of Stephanie F., 194 A.D.2d 789).

The appellant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review, and we decline to reach them in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction. Lawrence, J.P., Santucci, Friedmann and Florio, JJ., concur.
