Opinion

January 13, 1998

Appeal from the Family Court, Bronx County (Alma Cordova, J.).

If respondent's conduct were found to have been as described by petitioner, it could conceivably have provided a basis for the issuance of an order of protection by the Family Court. However, the Family Court did not find the petitioner totally credible. There is nothing in the record to warrant disturbing the Family Court's finding as to credibility, which is to be given due deference ( Matter of Ashlee X, 244 A.D.2d 707; Matter of Shannon U., 210 A.D.2d 752, lv denied 85 N.Y.2d 807).
