Opinion
September 29, 1997
Appeal from the Family Court, Queens County (Schindler, J.).
Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The clear and convincing evidence in the record amply supports the Family Court's conclusion that the appellant's son was a permanently-neglected child. The evidence established that despite the diligent efforts of St. Christopher-Ottilie to encourage and strengthen the parent-child relationship, the appellant failed to substantially and continuously plan for the future of his son for more than one year ( see, Social Services Law § 384-b [a]; Matter of Gregory B., 74 N.Y.2d 77; Matter of Carmen N., 237 A.D.2d 607).
