| In the Matter of Wan-Su Li, Respondent, v Cloud Feng,Appellant. |
—[*1] John C. Gray, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Natalia Williams of counsel), for respondent.
In a family offense proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 8, the husband appealsfrom (1) an order of protection of the Family Court, Kings County (Silber, J.), dated December 8,2006, and (2) an order of disposition of the same court also dated December 8, 2006, which, aftera fact-finding hearing, in effect, found that he committed family offenses, and directed him toobserve the conditions of the order of protection.
Ordered that the order of protection and the order of disposition are affirmed, without costsor disbursements.
Contrary to the husband's contention, the Family Court's finding that he committed familyoffenses is not against the weight of the evidence. The Family Court's determination regardingthe credibility of witnesses is entitled to great weight on appeal (see Matter of Jeannie B. v Roger D., 33AD3d 994, 994-995 [2006]; Matter of Betz v Betz, 241 AD2d 519 [1997]). Thatdetermination will not be disturbed unless it is clearly unsupported by the record (see Matter of Abbott v Burnes, 27AD3d 555 [2006]). Here, the Family Court's decision to credit the wife's testimony, whichestablished that the husband harassed and assaulted her on numerous occasions, is supported bythe record.
The husband's contention that the Family Court erred in not conducting a dispositionalhearing is without merit (see Matter ofHazel P.R. v Paul J.P., 34 AD3d 307, 308 [2006]). Crane, J.P., Lifson, Covello andMcCarthy, JJ., concur.
