Matter of Ariann

196 A.D.2d 589 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

August 16, 1993

Appeal from the Family Court, Kings County (Greenbaum, J.).


Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The record supports the Family Court's determination that the appellant committed acts constituting robbery in the second degree and criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree. The testimony established that the appellant, after asking about, and touching, the complainant's bag, followed the complainant into a pizza store. The appellant hit the complainant and a fight between them ensued. While they were fighting, the appellant's companions surrounded them, preventing the complainant's escape. During the fight, one of the appellant's companions took the complainant's bag. When another one of the appellant's companions said, "You got the bag", the companions left the store. An employee of the store broke up the fight and the appellant left the store. These facts sufficiently establish the appellant's liability under Penal Law § 20.00 for the crimes charged (see Matter of Juan J., 81 N.Y.2d 739; Matter of Emerson, 189 A.D.2d 712; Matter of Nikkia C., 187 A.D.2d 581).

We have considered the appellant's remaining contention and find it to be without merit. Rosenblatt, J.P., Miller, Santucci and Joy, JJ., concur.
