DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the orders of disposition are affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
We reject the appellants' contentions that their recent enrollment in drug rehabilitation programs warranted the entry of suspended judgments (see, Matter of Michael B., 80 N.Y.2d 299 ;Matter of Albert E., 259 A.D.2d 315 ; Matter of C. Children [Terry T.], 253 A.D.2d 554; Matter of Paul B., 247 A.D.2d 920 ; Matter of Tiffany A., 242 A.D.2d 709 ; Matter of Latesha Nicole M., 219 A.D.2d 521 ).
The appellants' remaining contentions do not require reversal under the circumstances of this case.
