This opinion shall not "constitute precedent or be binding upon any court." Although it is posted on the internet, this opinion is binding only on the parties in the case and its use in other cases is limited. R. 1:36-3. Before Judges Fisher and Fasciale. On appeal from Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Family Part, Bergen County, Docket No. FV-02-0827-17. C.B., appellant pro se. Respondent has not filed a brief. PER CURIAM
Defendant C.B. appeals a final restraining order entered against her pursuant to the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act, N.J.S.A. 2C:25-17 to -35. The record reveals that at the conclusion of a two-day hearing, Judge Lisa A. Firko found defendant had harassed plaintiff and made terroristic threats. The evidence the judge found credible supported those determinations. The judge also properly applied the principles contained in Silver v. Silver, 387 N.J. Super. 112, 126-27 (App. Div. 2006), in concluding a final restraining order was needed to preclude future acts of domestic violence.
We affirm substantially for the reasons set forth by Judge Firko in her oral decision.
Affirmed. I hereby certify that the foregoing is a true copy of the original on file in my office.
CLERK OF THE APPELLATE DIVISION
