Order of disposition, Family Court, Bronx County (Peter J. Passidomo, J.), entered on or about January 6, 2014, which adjudicated appellant a juvenile delinquent upon a fact-finding determination that he committed acts that, if committed by an adult, would constitute the crimes of petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree, and placed him with the Close to Home program for a period of up to 12 months, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The court's finding was based on legally sufficient evidence and not against the weight of the evidence. Appellant's arguments relating to the victim's credibility and the issue of the date on which the incident occurred are substantially similar to arguments this Court rejected on a companion appeal (Matter of Christopher S., 129 A.D.3d 426, 11 N.Y.S.3d 37 [1st Dept.2015] ), and there is no reason to reach a different result here. FRIEDMAN, J.P., ACOSTA, RENWICK, ANDRIAS, MOSKOWITZ, JJ., concur.
