Opinion
March 17, 1998
Appeal from the Family Court, New York County (Mary Bednar, J.).
The record, including the X-rays and medical testimony concerning multiple fractures occurring at different times provides ample evidence that the appellants abused their daughter, justifying her removal (Family Ct. Act § 1046; Matter of Phillip M., 82 N.Y.2d 238, 244). The court's disposition of appellants' requests for appointment of a medical expert and for certain adjournments were appropriate and, in any event, did not cause any prejudice to appellants. On the totality of the existing record, we find that appellants received effective assistance of counsel.
