Opinion
October 23, 1995
Appeal from the Family Court, Queens County (Gage, J.).
Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The Family Court considered all of the dispositional alternatives and decided that the appropriate disposition was to place the appellant in the custody of the Division for Youth for placement in a structured environment that would best provide for his needs. Based on the psychological evaluation of the appellant and all of the other relevant evidence, including his prior felony petition, his home environment, and his poor academic motivation, this was a proper exercise of the court's discretion and its determination should not be disturbed (see, Matter of Katherine W., 62 N.Y.2d 947).
The appellant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review, and, in any event, without merit. Altman, J.P., Hart, Friedmann and Krausman, JJ., concur.
