[*1] In re Dwayne F., A Person Alleged to be a Juvenile Delinquent, Appellant. Presentment Agency



Tamara A. Steckler, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Marcia Egger of counsel), attorney for the child.

Zachary W. Carter, Corporation Counsel, New York (Edward F.X. Hart of counsel), for respondent.



Order of disposition, Family Court, Bronx County (Sidney Gribetz, J.), entered on or about February 13, 2013, which adjudicated appellant a juvenile delinquent upon a fact-finding determination that he committed acts that, if committed by an adult, would constitute attempted robbery in the second degree, attempted grand larceny in the fourth degree, and attempted assault in the third degree, and placed him 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 determinations concerning identification

and credibility. The victim had a sufficient opportunity to observe appellant and made a reliable identification. We have considered and rejected appellant's remaining arguments.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.

ENTERED: MAY 20, 2014

CLERK
