[*1] In re Adabel D., 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.

Zachary W. Carter, Corporation Counsel, New York (Tahirih M. Sadrieh of counsel), for presentment agency.

Order, Family Court, Bronx County (Peter J. Passidomo, J.), entered on or about December 6, 2013, which adjudicated appellant a juvenile delinquent upon her admission that she committed an act that, if committed by an adult, would constitute the crime of attempted assault in the third degree, and placed her on probation for a period of 12 months, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The disposition is the least restrictive dispositional alternative consistent with appellant's needs and the community's need for protection (see Matter of Katherine W ., 62 NY2d 947 [1984]), and the court properly exercised its discretion in declining appellant's request for an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal. Among other things, the underlying offense was violent, and appellant was again arrested for violent conduct

while this case was pending. Moreover, the court stated that it would consider sealing the case if appellant successfully completed probation.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.

ENTERED: APRIL 23, 2015
