In Matter of Analuisa P. v. Warnell H.

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

2011 N.Y. Slip Op. 7581 (N.Y. App. Div. 2011)

Opinion

5863.

Decided on October 27, 2011.

Appeal from order, Family Court, Bronx County (Alma Cordova, J.), entered on or about February 25, 2010, which, after a fact-finding hearing, granted petitioner an order of protection for one year, unanimously dismissed as moot, without costs.

Kenneth M. Tuccillo, Hastings-on-Hudson, for appellant.

Dora M. Lassinger, East Rockaway, for respondent.

Andrias, J.P., Sweeny, Acosta, Freedman, Manzanet-Daniels, JJ.


Because the order of protection has expired, this appeal is moot ( see Matter of Diallo v Diallo , 68 AD3d 411, lv dismissed 14 NY3d 854). Were we to reach the merits, we would find that a fair preponderance of the evidence (Family Ct Act § 832), including the testimony of petitioner and a school district guard, supports the court's finding that, on the day at issue, respondent committed acts that constituted the family offense of disorderly conduct (Family Ct Act § 812; Penal Law § 240.20). There is no basis to disturb the court's credibility determinations ( Matter of F.B. v W.B., 248 AD2d 119).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
