Appeal from Order of Jefferson County Family Court, Hunt, J. — Placement.

Present — Green, J. P., Lawton, Wisner, Callahan and Boehm, JJ.


Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: Family Court properly exercised its discretion in granting the petition to extend respondent's placement and in extending that placement for a period of 12 months ( see, Family Ct Act § 355.3).
