[*1] In re Ariana Y., A Person Alleged to be a Juvenile Delinquent, Appellant. Presentment Agency
Neal D. Futerfas, White Plains, for appellant.
Zachary W. Carter, Corporation Counsel, New York (Marta Ross of counsel), for presentment agency.
Order, Family Court, Bronx County (Gayle P. Roberts, J.), entered on or about June 4, 2014, which adjudicated appellant a juvenile delinquent upon a fact-finding determination that she committed acts that, if committed by an adult, would constitute the crimes of assault in the second and third degrees and menacing in the third degree, and placed her on probation for a period of 12 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 credibility determinations. The evidence supported a finding that appellant was no mere onlooker, but an intentional participant in the offenses (see Penal Law § 20.00).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
ENTERED: OCTOBER 20, 2015
CLERK
