Before: ANITA R. FLORIO, J.P., SONDRA MILLER, STEPHEN G. CRANE, REINALDO E. RIVERA, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Contrary to the petitioner's contention, Kristian G.'s placement in a secure juvenile facility for a reduced period of eight months reflected the time he spent in the St. Mary's Home awaiting a disposition by the Family Court.
The petitioner's remaining contentions are without merit.
Accordingly, the petition was properly dismissed.
FLORIO, J.P., S. MILLER, CRANE and RIVERA, JJ., concur.
