Opinion
September 8, 1994
Appeal from the Family Court, New York County (Sheldon Rand, J.).
The petition in this case was jurisdictionally defective in that it did not contain non-hearsay allegations establishing that the substance seized at the time of appellant's arrest was a controlled substance (see, Matter of James A., 198 A.D.2d 5; see also, Matter of Rodney J., 83 N.Y.2d 503; Matter of Jahron S., 79 N.Y.2d 632, 639). It must, therefore, be dismissed.
Concur — Murphy, P.J., Ellerin, Kupferman, Ross and Tom, JJ.
