IN RE: DARRYL W., A Person Alleged to be a Juvenile Delinquent, Appellant. Presentment Agency.
Order of disposition, Family Court, Bronx County (Harold J. Lynch, J.), entered on or about June 30, 2004, which adjudicated appellant a juvenile delinquent, upon a fact-finding determination that appellant committed an act, which, if committed by an adult, would constitute the crime of unlawful imprisonment in the second 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. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 515 N.Y.S.2d 761, 508 N.E.2d 672 [1987] ). Appellant's verbal and physical conduct prevented his teacher from leaving the classroom, and constituted restraint under Penal Law § 135.00[1].
