280 A.D.2d 969 (N.Y. App. Div. 2001)

Opinion

February 7, 2001.

Appeal from Amended Order of Oneida County Family Court, Cook, J. — Abuse.

Pigott, Jr., P. J., Pine, Hurlbutt, Kehoe and Lawton, JJ.


Appeal from amended order insofar as it concerns disposition unanimously dismissed ( see, Matter of Cherilyn P., 192 A.D.2d 1084, lv denied 82 N.Y.2d 652) and amended order affirmed without costs.

Memorandum: We reject the contention of respondent that his due process rights were violated when Family Court refused to order disclosure of unfounded reports of child abuse from 1993 and 1994 ( see, Social Services Law § 422 [former (5)]; K. v. K., 126 Misc.2d 624, 626-627). In addition, the court properly refused to permit a caseworker to testify concerning a 1993 investigation that resulted in an unfounded report "inasmuch as that would constitute an impermissible circumvention of the express purpose of [Social Services Law § 422 (former [5])]" ( K. v. K., supra, at 627).
