[*1]In re Mahamadou H., A Person Alleged to be a Juvenile Delinquent, Appellant.

- Presentment Agency


Tamara A. Steckler, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Marcia
Egger of counsel), for appellant.
Michael A. Cardozo, Corporation Counsel, New York (Dona B.
Morris of counsel), for presentment agency.

Order of disposition, Family Court, Bronx County (Jeanette Ruiz, J.), entered on or about January 5, 2012, which adjudicated appellant a juvenile delinquent upon a fact-finding determination that he committed acts that, if committed by an adult, would constitute the crimes of assault in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree and menacing in the third degree, and placed him on probation for a period of 18 months, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The court's finding was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342, 348-349 [2007]). There is no basis for disturbing the court's determinations concerning identification and credibility, including its finding that the victim had a sufficient opportunity to observe appellant and make a reliable identification.

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

ENTERED: OCTOBER 11, 2012
