Matter of Stacy A.

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

239 A.D.2d 871 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

May 30, 1997

Present — Green, J.P., Lawton, Doerr, Balio and Fallon, JJ.


Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: We reject the contention of respondent that Family Court erred by "failing to inquire fully" into her request for continued visitation after her parental rights were terminated on the ground of mental illness and prior to any adoption of her child. The record establishes that the court considered respondent's request and properly concluded that it would not be in the child's best interests to grant it. Under the circumstances, the court was not required to conduct a dispositional hearing to determine the posttermination visitation request ( see, e.g, Matter of Angela OO., 204 A.D.2d 768, lv denied 84 N.Y.2d 803; Matter of Elizabeth Q., 126 A.D.2d 905). (Appeal from Order of Erie County Family Court, Rosa, J. — Visitation.)
