IN RE: ALISHA V., A Person Alleged to be a Juvenile Delinquent, Appellant. Presentment Agency.
Appeal from order of disposition, Family Court, Bronx County (Monica Drinane, J.), entered on or about July 12, 2005, which adjudicated appellant a juvenile delinquent, upon a fact-finding determination that she had committed acts which, if committed by an adult, would constitute the crimes of assault in the third degree and menacing in the third degree, and placed her with the Office of Children and Family Services for a period of 12 months, held in abeyance, and the matter remanded for a hearing as to whether the identification of appellant by a witness was confirmatory.
As we held in a companion case (Matter of Amanda L., 30 A.D.3d 180, 815 N.Y.S.2d 822 [2006] ), a Rodriguez hearing (People v. Rodriguez, 79 N.Y.2d 445, 583 N.Y.S.2d 814, 593 N.E.2d 268 [1992] ) is necessary to determine if the witness in question was sufficiently familiar with this appellant so as to exempt her out-of-court identification from the CPL 710.30(1)(b) notice requirement. We find no basis upon which to make a different determination from the one we made in the previous case.
