Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department

Date published: Dec 30, 1999

267 A.D.2d 1054 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

700 N.Y.S.2d 913

Opinion

December 30, 1999

Appeal from Order of Orleans County Family Court, Punch, J. — Custody.

Order unanimously affirmed without costs.

PRESENT: GREEN, J. P., PINE, PIGOTT, JR., SCUDDER AND CALLAHAN, JJ.

Memorandum:

Family Court did not err in dismissing the petition seeking modification of a prior custody order without conducting a hearing ( see, Matter of Wurmlinger v. Freer, 256 A.D.2d 1069). Petitioner failed to make a sufficient evidentiary showing to warrant a hearing ( see, Matter of Lynette L. v. Richard K. A., 210 A.D.2d 1005; David W. v. Julia W., 158 A.D.2d 1, 6-7).
