Matter of Steven

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department

75 A.D.2d 756 (N.Y. App. Div. 1980)

Opinion

May 13, 1980


Order, Family Court, Bronx County, entered July 10, 1979, adjudicating the appellant a juvenile delinquent and placing him with the Division For Youth, Title III, reversed, on the law, without costs, and the matter remanded for a new fact-finding hearing. At his plea, appellant admitted that he had committed an act which, if committed by an adult, would constitute the crime of criminal trespass in the third degree. However, as the respondent candidly concedes, the Judge at fact finding did not apprise the appellant or his mother of his various constitutional rights or the consequences flowing from a waiver of those rights. (Matter of John R., 71 A.D.2d 896; Matter of Felix A., 58 A.D.2d 562.) This omission requires a new fact-finding hearing before the Family Court (Matter of Troy L., 53 A.D.2d 615).

Concur — Murphy, P.J., Kupferman, Birns, Lupiano and Bloom, JJ.
