IN RE: KADISHA S. (Anonymous) (2008)

In a juvenile delinquency proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 3, the appeal is from an order of disposition of the Family Court, Queens County (Hunt, J.), dated February 16, 2007, which, upon a fact-finding order of the same court dated January 23, 2007, made after a fact-finding hearing, finding that the appellant committed acts which, if committed by an adult, would have constituted the crimes of grand larceny in the fourth degree and criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree, adjudged her to be a juvenile delinquent and placed her on probation for a period of 15 months subject to certain conditions.   The appeal brings up for review the fact-finding order dated January 23, 2007.

ORDERED that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

Viewing the evidence adduced at the fact-finding hearing in the light most favorable to the presentment agency (see Matter of David H., 69 N.Y.2d 792, 793, 513 N.Y.S.2d 111, 505 N.E.2d 621;  Matter of Shatasia C., 35 A.D.3d 855, 826 N.Y.S.2d 901;  Matter of Shimon O., 34 A.D.3d 817, 817, 825 N.Y.S.2d 243), we find that it was sufficient to establish that the appellant participated as an accomplice in acts which, if committed by an adult, would have constituted the crimes of grand larceny in the fourth degree and criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree (see Matter of Louis C., 6 A.D.3d 430, 431, 774 N.Y.S.2d 567;  Matter of Joseph J., 205 A.D.2d 777, 778, 614 N.Y.S.2d 39;  Matter of Aida S., 189 A.D.2d 818, 819, 592 N.Y.S.2d 442).   Furthermore, upon the exercise of our factual review power (cf. CPL 470.15[5] ), we are satisfied that the findings of fact were not against the weight of the evidence.   In this regard, the issue of the complainant's alleged intoxication was a matter to be considered by the fact-finder in assessing her credibility and did not render her testimony incredible as a matter of law (cf. People v. Baksh, 43 A.D.3d 1072, 1073, 845 N.Y.S.2d 343, lv. denied 9 N.Y.3d 989, 848 N.Y.S.2d 607, 878 N.E.2d 1023;  People v. Almonte, 23 A.D.3d 392, 393, 806 N.Y.S.2d 95).
