In the Matter of Craig Zeman, Appellant, v Shana L.Knibbs, Respondent.

—[*1]Del Atwell, East Hampton, N.Y., for appellant.

Richard N. Lentino, Middletown, N.Y., for respondent.

In a visitation proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 6, the father appeals from anorder of disposition of the Supreme Court, Orange County (IDV Part) (Bivona, J.), enteredMarch 25, 2010, which, after a hearing, dismissed his petition, in effect, to enforce a prior orderof visitation.

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

Contrary to the father's contention, there is no evidence that the Supreme Court was biasedagainst him and deprived him of a fair hearing (see Matter of Richardson v Richardson, 80 AD3d 32, 44 [2010]; Matter of Jeannie B. v Roger D., 33AD3d 994 [2006]). Moreover, the record supports the Supreme Court's determination thatthe mother did not violate the prior order of visitation (see Matter of Sinnott-Turner v Kolba, 60 AD3d 774 [2009]; Matter of Perez v Sepulveda, 54 AD3d347 [2008]). Mastro, J.P., Chambers, Austin and Cohen, JJ., concur.
