Matter of Salvatore

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 8, 1986
125 A.D.2d 394 (N.Y. App. Div. 1986)

Opinion

December 8, 1986

Appeal from the Family Court, Queens County (Gallet, J.).


Ordered that the order dated June 4, 1985, is reversed, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, without costs or disbursements, the fact-finding determination is vacated, and the petition is dismissed.

The Corporation Counsel concedes that the fact-finding Judge did not advise the appellant and his parents of the appellant's relevant constitutional and statutory rights or the consequences flowing from a waiver of those rights (see, Boykin v Alabama, 395 U.S. 238; People v. Gina M.M., 40 N.Y.2d 595; Matter of Lawrence S., 29 N.Y.2d 206; Matter of John R., 71 A.D.2d 896; Matter of Steven W., 75 A.D.2d 756; Matter of Kim F., 109 A.D.2d 706; Matter of Yolanda C., 118 A.D.2d 778; Family Ct Act § 320.3, 321.3). Under these circumstances, the dispositional order appealed from must be reversed, and the fact-finding determination vacated. Moreover, since the one-year probation period imposed upon the appellant has expired, it is unnecessary to remit the proceeding to the Family Court for a new fact-finding hearing. Instead the petition should be dismissed (see, Matter of Yolanda C., supra). Mangano, J.P., Weinstein, Lawrence and Kooper, JJ., concur.
