In the Matter of Gregory ZABIZHIN, appellant, v. Nyuma ZABIZHIN, respondent.
Carol Lipton, Brooklyn, N.Y., for appellant. Janis A. Parazzelli, Floral Park, N.Y., for respondent.
Carol Lipton, Brooklyn, N.Y., for appellant.
Janis A. Parazzelli, Floral Park, N.Y., for respondent.
Opinion Appeal from an order of disposition of the Family Court, Kings County (Michael L. Katz, J.), dated August 15, 2013. The order, after a hearing, denied the petition alleging that Nyuma Zabizhin violated an order of protection of that court dated May 3, 2010, and dismissed the proceeding.
ORDERED that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
In his petition, the appellant alleged that the respondent violated the terms of an order of protection issued by the Family Court on May 3, 2010. The record supports the determination of the Family Court that the appellant failed to establish, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the respondent willfully violated the terms of the subject order of protection (see Family Ct. Act § 846–a ; Matter of Tulshi v. Tulshi, 118 A.D.3d 716, 986 N.Y.S.2d 350 ; Matter of Prezioso v. Prezioso, 115 A.D.3d 958, 982 N.Y.S.2d 400 ; Matter of Barnes v. Barnes, 54 A.D.3d 755, 863 N.Y.S.2d 758 ; Matter of Belgrave v. Mingo, 28 A.D.3d 479, 811 N.Y.S.2d 579 ). Accordingly, we find no basis to disturb the Family Court's determination denying the petition and dismissing the proceeding.
RIVERA, J.P., DICKERSON, MILLER and DUFFY, JJ., concur.
