55 A.D.3d 1320 (N.Y. App. Div. 2008)

Opinion

October 3, 2008.

Appeal from an order of the Family Court, Jefferson County (Richard V Hunt, J.), entered June 4, 2007 in a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 10. The order, inter alia, adjudged that respondent had sexually abused his son and derivatively abused his two daughters.

Before: Martoche, J.P., Smith, Lunn, Pine and Gorski, JJ.


It is hereby ordered that the order so appealed from is unanimously affirmed without costs.

Memorandum: In this sexual abuse proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 10, respondent contends that Family Court erred in giving collateral estoppel effect to his plea of guilty to a charge of sexual abuse in a parallel criminal action. We reject that contention ( see Matter of Suffolk County Dept. of Social Servs. v James M., 83 NY2d 178, 182-183; Matter of Mark H., 259 AD2d 1040; see also Matter of Kali-Ann E., 27 AD3d 796, 798, lv denied 7 NY3d 704).
