Opinion
April 5, 1985
Appeal from the Jefferson County Family Court, Parker, J.
Present — Hancock, Jr., J.P., Callahan, Boomer, Green and Schnepp, JJ.
Order unanimously affirmed, without costs. Memorandum: The record supports Family Court's conclusion that petitioner did not carry her burden of proving respondent's paternity by "`clear and convincing' evidence" ( Matter of Commissioner of Social Servs. v Philip De G., 59 N.Y.2d 137, 141, citing Matter of Lopez v Sanchez, 34 N.Y.2d 662, 663). We note that the fact finder's determination as to the credibility of witnesses is entitled to "`great weight'" ( Matter of Karen K. v. Christopher D., 89 A.D.2d 955, 956; Matter of Susan W. v. Amhad Q., 65 A.D.2d 594, lv denied 46 N.Y.2d 1037).
