Appeal from the Family Court, Bronx County, Elrich A. Eastman, J.


The hearing court duly considered all the evidence before it, including evidence offered regarding a temporary lawful possession defense. The hearing court was in the best position to assess the credibility of the witnesses, and we discern no basis for disturbing the findings which have been entered on the record.
