Saxe, J.P., Sullivan, Lerner, Rubin, Friedman, JJ.
The court's allocution of appellant and his mother, taken together with the statements of appellant's counsel, clearly established that both appellant and his mother understood all of the rights that appellant would be waiving through his admission.
Accordingly, the allocution complied with Family Court Act § 321.3(1) and confirmed that appellant's admission was knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily made (see, Matter of Charles M., 143 A.D.2d 96).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
