Matter of Christopher

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Sep 18, 1995
219 A.D.2d 655 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

September 18, 1995

Appeal from the Family Court, Westchester County (Braslow, J.).


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

The Family Court correctly determined that there was no violation of Family Court Act § 320.2 regarding the timeliness of the appellant's initial appearance. The appellant's initial appearance was timely with regard to the first petition, which was dismissed as insufficient pursuant to Family Court Act § 311.2, and the appellant's initial appearance with regard to the second petition took place less than 10 days after the filing of the second petition in accordance with Family Court Act § 320.2 (1) (see, Matter of Robert O., 207 A.D.2d 783; Matter of Detrece H., 78 N.Y.2d 107). Moreover, the trial was scheduled to commence and the presentment agency was ready to proceed within 60 days of the appellant's initial appearance on the first petition (see, Matter of Tommy C., 182 A.D.2d 312). The matter was adjourned for additional discovery only at the appellant's request.

We have reviewed the appellant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Copertino, J.P., Santucci, Altman and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
