Matter of James

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Nov 4, 1993
198 A.D.2d 5 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

November 4, 1993

Appeal from the Family Court, New York County (George L. Jurow, J.).


As respondent presentment agency concedes, under Matter of Rodney J. ( 194 A.D.2d 342, lv granted 196 A.D.2d 686), the certification that the laboratory report annexed to the petition was a true copy of the original does not establish a non-hearsay prima facie case that the substance seized from appellant was cocaine, and, accordingly, the petition must be dismissed. In view of the foregoing, we do not address appellant's other claims.

Concur — Murphy, P.J., Sullivan, Kupferman, Asch and Kassal, JJ.
