In re MICHAEL R., A Person Alleged to be a Juvenile Delinquent, Appellant.Presentment Agency
Tamara A. Steckler, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Raymond E. Rogers of counsel), for appellant.Michael A. Cardozo, Corporation Counsel, New York (Jane L. Gordon of counsel), for presentment agency.
Order of disposition, Family Court, New York County (Susan R. Larabee, J.), entered on or about March 23, 2010, which adjudicated appellant a juvenile delinquent upon a fact-finding determination that he committed acts that, if committed by an adult, would constitute the crimes of assault in the third degree and menacing in the third degree, and placed him on probation for a period of 12 months, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The court properly denied appellant's suppression motion. Furthermore, its fact-finding determination was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. Appellant's challenges to both determinations are identical or substantially similar to arguments this Court rejected on a companion appeal ( Matter of Daniel E., 82 A.D.3d 639, 919 N.Y.S.2d 333 [2011] ), and there is no reason to reach a different result here.
