PER CURIAM.

We affirm Judge Conforti's decision dismissing the complaint for the reasons expressed in his written opinion of November 7, 1997. He soundly exercised his discretion in rejecting plaintiff's claimed right to subject involuntarily his alleged adult offspring to genetic blood testing. See M.F. v. N.H., 252 N.J. Super. 420, 429, 599 A.2d 1297 (App.Div. 1991); see also Michael H. v. Gerald D., 491 U.S. 110, 124, 109 S.Ct. 2333, 105 L.Ed.2d 91, 106 (1989).
