Opinion
April 15, 1996
Appeal from the Family Court, Kings County (Hepner, J.).
Ordered that the appeal from the fact-finding order is dismissed, without costs or disbursements, since that order was superseded by the order of disposition; and it is further,
Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
We find no basis to disturb the Family Court's determination in this case. The petitioner proved by a preponderance of the evidence that the appellant had sexually abused Jasmin ( see, Family Ct Act § 1046 [b]; Matter of Nicole V., 71 N.Y.2d 112), and the appellant failed to present sufficient evidence to rebut the petitioner's case ( see, Matter of Josephine G., 218 A.D.2d 656). When, as here, the Family Court was confronted primarily with issues of credibility, its factual findings must be accorded great weight on appeal (see, Matter of Josephine G., supra).
The appellant's remaining contention is without merit. Thompson, J.P., Sullivan, Joy and Florio, JJ., concur.
