[*1]In re Alyssa F., and Another, Dependent Children Under the Age of Eighteen Years, etc., The New York City Administration for Children's Services, Petitioner-Appellant,

and

Denzel F., Respondent-Respondent.




Michael A. Cardozo, Corporation Counsel, New York (Sharyn
Rootenberg of counsel), for appellant.
Susan Jacobs, Center for Family Representation Inc., New York,
and Leader & Berkon LLP, New York (David A. Paul of
counsel), for respondent.
Tamara A. Steckler, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Amy
Hausknecht of counsel), attorney for the children.

Order of disposition, Family Court, New York County (Clark V. Richardson, J.), entered on or about January 3, 2011, which dismissed the neglect petitions after an inquest, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The court properly found that the quantum of proof did not demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that the children were at actual or potential risk of imminent harm to their physical, mental or emotional condition (Family Court Act § 1012[f][i][b]).

We have considered petitioner's remaining contentions and find them unavailing.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.

ENTERED: JANUARY 12, 2012
