Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided July 12, 1985
112 A.D.2d 724; 492 N.Y.S.2d 214; 1985 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 56232
Commissioner of Social Services ex rel. Mannion v. Murray

Opinion of the Court

Order unanimously affirmed, without costs. Memorandum: We agree with Family Court that even if it had been received in evidence, the result of the human leucocyte antigen (HLA) test indicating a 91.02% likelihood of paternity, together with the other evidence in the case, did not prove respondent’s paternity by clear and convincing evidence as a matter of law (see, Matter of Ferguson v Gonyou, 110 AD2d 1084). On this record Family Court was warranted in disbelieving the mother’s testimony. (Appeal from order of Erie County Family Court, Manz, J.— paternity.) Present — Dillon, P. J., Callahan, Boomer, Green and Schnepp, JJ.
