Matter of Thomas

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jan 11, 1994
200 A.D.2d 425 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

January 11, 1994

Appeal from the Family Court, Bronx County (Gina Martinez, J.).


Respondent's counsel consented to adjournment of the initial appearance when respondent's parents and the presentment agency's attorney were unavailable. Thus, there can be no dismissal for violation of Family Court Act § 320.2 (1) (see, Matter of Hiram D., 189 A.D.2d 730, 732). The signed certification of the laboratory report by the chemist attached to the petition, together with the signed deposition of the arresting police officer established every element of the crime charged (see, Matter of Jahron S., 79 N.Y.2d 632; compare, Matter of Rodney J., 194 A.D.2d 342, affd 83 N.Y.2d 503).

Concur — Ellerin, J.P., Asch, Rubin and Nardelli, JJ.
