Matter of Jason

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Sep 26, 1994
207 A.D.2d 895 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

September 26, 1994

Appeal from the Family Court, Orange County (Ludmerer, J.).


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


Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the presentment agency (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it is legally sufficient to establish the appellant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Furthermore, it is well settled that the resolution of issues of credibility, as well as the weight to be accorded to the evidence presented, are questions to be determined by the fact finder, who had the opportunity to see and hear the witnesses (see, Matter of Neftali D., 204 A.D.2d 319). Its determination should be accorded great weight on appeal and should not be disturbed unless clearly unsupported by the record. Upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the finding of guilt is not against the weight of the evidence (CPL 470.15).

We have reviewed the appellant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Mangano, P.J., Lawrence, Copertino, Krausman and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
