In re Vera T.

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Feb 25, 1982
434 N.E.2d 1075 (N.Y. 1982)

Opinion

Argued February 9, 1982

Decided February 25, 1982

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department, DANIEL D. LEDDY, JR., J.

Virginia C. Duncombe and Bernard C. Durham for appellant.

Stephen Wise Tulin for respondent.

Louis L. Frank and Yvonne Lawrence, Law Guardian, for Vera T.

Frederick A.O. Schwarz, Jr., Corporation Counsel ( Marjorie Bornes of counsel), for Commissioner of Social Services of the City of New York.


MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs.

Under the applicable standard that we explicated in Matter of Hime Y. ( 52 N.Y.2d 242) we cannot conclude that the evidence in this record was insufficient as a matter of law to sustain the determination of the Appellate Division that "at the time of trial the mother was then, and for the foreseeable future, unable by reason of her mental illness, to provide proper and adequate care for the child" ( 80 A.D.2d 511).

Chief Judge COOKE and Judges JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and MEYER concur.

Order affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum.
