| In the Matter of Zhour Hijri, Respondent, v Nasser Fargaly,Appellant. |
—[*1] O'Melveny & Myers LLP, New York, N.Y. (William J. Sushon, Alexandra A. Lewis, KimSusser, and Christina Brandt-Young of counsel), for respondent.
In a family offense proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 8, the husband appeals,as limited by his brief, from so much of an order of the Family Court, Westchester County(Devlin, J.), entered March 15, 2007, as, after a hearing, determined that he violated an order ofprotection of the same court entered November 28, 2006.
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
"Where the Family Court is primarily confronted with issues of credibility, its factualdeterminations are afforded great weight on appeal" (Matter of Spillman v Spillman, 40 AD3d 770, 770 [2007]; see Matter of Wilkins v Wilkins, 47AD3d 823 [2008]). Here, the record supports the Family Court's determination, based upon afair preponderance of the evidence, that the husband violated the "stay away" provision of thepreviously-issued order of protection by following his wife on the Taconic State Parkway,pulling alongside her vehicle, sounding the horn and waving, and then pulling in front of hervehicle and speeding away (seegenerally Matter of Wilkins v Wilkins, 47 AD3d 823 [2008]; Matter of Spillman vSpillman, 40 AD3d at 770; Matter of Tina T. v Steven U., 243 AD2d 863, 864[1997]).
The husband's remaining contentions are without merit. Spolzino, J.P., Ritter, Santucci andCarni, JJ., concur.
