Opinion
April 15, 1996
Appeal from the Family Court, Dutchess County (Amodeo, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The results of the HLA blood test excluded the respondent as the father of the child, and the Family Court gave those results the weight it deemed appropriate ( see, Matter of Department of Social Servs. [Sandra C.] v. Thomas J.S., 100 A.D.2d 119, 124-125). Accordingly, the Family Court properly concluded that the petitioner failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence that the respondent was the father of the subject child ( see, Matter of Jane PP. v. Paul QQ., 65 N.Y.2d 994, 996). Sullivan, J.P., Copertino, Santucci and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
