Opinion
May 27, 1988
Appeal from the Erie County Family Court, Sedita, J.
Present — Dillon, P.J., Denman, Boomer, Pine, and Balio, JJ.
Order unanimously reversed on the law and matter remitted to Erie County Family Court for further proceedings, in accordance with the following memorandum: There is insufficient evidence to sustain the adjudication that respondent is a person in need of supervision. The only evidence consisted of an admission by the Law Guardian that respondent was guilty of the conduct charged in the petition. Such admission by one who has no personal knowledge of the facts is not legally competent evidence to support a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt (see, Matter of William C., 140 A.D.2d 1004).
