Matter of Kolongi R

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 5, 1997
239 A.D.2d 349 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

May 5, 1997

Appeal from the Family Court, Westchester County (Braslow, J.).


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

We find that the appellant's admission to the charges contained in the amended juvenile delinquency petition was knowingly and intelligently made ( see, Family Ct Act § 321.3).

Although the Family Court should have made specific written findings of fact as to each of the considerations set forth in Family Court Act § 353.5(2) ( see, Matter of Anthony S., 67 A.D.2d 685), we find, on the facts in the record, that the Family Court's determination that the appellant required a restrictive placement was supported by a preponderance of the evidence ( see, Family Ct Act § 535.5[1]).

Rosenblatt, J.P., Copertino, Pizzuto, Krausman and Florio, JJ., concur.
