Opinion

January 14, 1997.

Order of disposition, Family Court, New York County (Leah Marks, J.), entered on or about July 13, 1995, which adjudicated respondent a juvenile delinquent, after a fact-finding determination that she committed an act which, if committed by an adult, would constitute the crime of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, and placed her on probation for a period of two years, unanimously reversed, on the law and the facts, without costs, and the petition dismissed.

Before: Ellerin, J. P., Wallach, Nardelli, Rubin and Mazzarelli, JJ.


As the presentment agency concedes, the uncorroborated testimony of respondent's accomplice was insufficient as a matter of law to sustain the petition (Family Ct Act § 343.2 [X]). Accordingly, the finding of delinquency is vacated and the petition dismissed.
