| In the Matter of Rodolfo M., a Person Alleged to be a JuvenileDelinquent, Appellant. |
—[*1] Michael A. Cardozo, Corporation Counsel, New York, N.Y. (Stephen McGrath of counsel; ElinaDruker on the brief), for respondent.
In a juvenile delinquency proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 3, the appeal is from anorder of disposition of the Family Court, Queens County (Lubow, J.), dated June 2, 2009, which, upona fact-finding order of the same court dated March 20, 2009, made after a hearing, finding that theappellant committed acts, which, if committed by an adult, would have constituted the crimes ofrobbery in the second degree (two counts), grand larceny in the fourth degree (two counts), andcriminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree (two counts), adjudged him to be a juveniledelinquent and placed him on probation for a period of two years.
Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The appellant contends, inter alia, that the evidence was legally insufficient to support thefact-finding determination. Insofar as this contention relates to the issue of identification, it isunpreserved for appellate review, as the appellant did not specifically address the issue of identificationin his motion for a trial order of dismissal (seeMatter of Malcolm G., 38 AD3d 662, 663 [2007]; cf. People v Jean-Marie, 67 AD3d 704 [2009]; People v Warren, 50 AD3d 706, 707[2008]). In any event, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the presentment agency(see Matter of David H., 69 NY2d 792, 793 [1987]; Matter of Brooklyn B., 77 AD3d 934 [2010]), we find that it was legallysufficient to establish, beyond a reasonable doubt, the appellant's identity as the person who committedthe acts complained of (see Matter ofBrooklyn B., 77 AD3d 934 [2010]). Moreover, upon our independent review of the record,we are satisfied that the fact-finding determination was not against the weight of the evidence (see Matter of Joel C., 70 AD3d 936,937 [2010]; Matter of Darnell C., 66AD3d 771, 772 [2009]).
