241 A.D.2d 524 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

July 21, 1997

Appeal from the Family Court, Suffolk County (Freundlich, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The Family Court's finding that aggravating circumstances were present, justifying extending the order of protection for three years, is supported by the record (cf., Matter of Zirkind v Zirkind, 218 A.D.2d 745). Further, the Family Court was authorized to direct the appellant to seek and complete psychiatric treatment (see, Family Ct Act § 842 [i]).

O'Brien, J. P., Joy, Goldstein and Luciano, JJ., concur.
