IN RE: ANTHONY A. (1998)

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, New York.

IN RE: ANTHONY A., A Person Alleged to be A Juvenile Delinquent, Appellant. Presentment Agency.

Decided: November 24, 1998

Before LERNER, P.J., and WILLIAMS, TOM, ANDRIAS, JJ.

Howard M. Simms, for Appellant. Mordecai Newman, for Presentment Agency.

Order of disposition, Family Court, Bronx County (Terrence McElrath, J.), entered on or about April 4, 1997, which determined that appellant had violated the terms of his probation and placed him in the custody of the Division of Youth, limited secure, for a period of 18 months, 6 months minimum, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The court's determination that appellant violated a condition of his probation by failing to alert his probation officer immediately of a change of address and school was proven by a preponderance of the evidence (Matter of Alpheaus M., 168 A.D.2d 208, 562 N.Y.S.2d 93). The court properly exercised its discretion in limiting cross-examination regarding the probation officer's efforts or lack of efforts to keep in touch with appellant since this testimony was not material to the issue of whether appellant violated conditions of his probation.
