Benitez v. Murati

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jun 10, 1999
262 A.D.2d 79 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

Opinion

June 10, 1999.

Appeal from the Family Court, Bronx County (Marjory Fields, J.).


Respondent's argument that the finding of a violation of the order of protection is unsupported by competent proof in the record is without merit. The credited testimony of petitioner, petitioner's 14 year-old daughter and petitioner's neighbor sufficiently established the allegations in the petition ( see, Family Ct Act § 821, 832 Fam. Ct. Act, 846-a Fam. Ct. Act; Matter of Tina T. v. Steven U., 243 A.D.2d 863, 864, lv denied 91 N.Y.2d 805). The record also supports the court's finding of aggravating circumstances warranting imposition of a three-year order of protection ( see, Family Ct Act § 827, 842 Fam. Ct. Act).

Concur — Ellerin, P. J., Nardelli, Mazzarelli, Rubin and Saxe, JJ.
