Matter of Akiem

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Nov 10, 1994
209 A.D.2d 811 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

November 10, 1994

Appeal from the Family Court of Otsego County (Nydam, J.).


The question on this appeal is whether respondent Noel V. (hereinafter respondent) was a "[p]erson legally responsible" for the care of one of the children involved in this proceeding within the meaning of Family Court Act § 1012 (g). There is insufficient evidence in the record to demonstrate that respondent was a regular member of the child's household or that the parties were living in a family setting with respect to that child. Accordingly, Family Court's dismissal of the petition against respondent should not be disturbed.

Mikoll, J.P., Mercure, Crew III, Yesawich Jr. and Peters, JJ., concur. Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs.
