Annotate this Case
Matter of Wader A. 2008 NY Slip Op 00040 [47 AD3d 408] January 3, 2008 Appellate Division, First Department Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431. As corrected through Wednesday, March 12, 2008

In the Matter of Wader A., a Person Alleged to be a Juvenile Delinquent, Appellant.

—[*1] Randall S. Carmel, Syosset, for appellant.

Michael A. Cardozo, Corporation Counsel, New York City (Jane L. Gordon of counsel), for presentment agency.

Order of disposition, Family Court, Bronx County (Nelida Malave-Gonzalez, J.), entered on or about December 13, 2006, which adjudicated appellant a juvenile delinquent upon a fact-finding determination that he had committed acts which, if perpetrated by an adult, would constitute the crimes of unauthorized use of a vehicle in the third degree and possession of burglar's tools, and imposed a conditional discharge for a period of 12 months, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Appellant's arguments concerning the sufficiency and weight of the evidence are similar to arguments this Court rejected on a companion appeal (Matter of Daniel C., 46 AD3d 259 [2007]), and there is no reason to reach a different result herein. There is no merit to appellant's argument that the supporting deposition was insufficient because it was only signed by the vehicle's lawful custodian, who was not the title holder (see Penal Law § 155.00 [5] [owner includes any person with superior right of possession]; Matter of Michael S., 262 AD2d 6, 7 [1999], lv denied 94 NY2d 752 [1999]). Concur—Andrias, J.P., Nardelli, Buckley and Catterson, JJ.
