Opinion of the Court
Appeal from an order of the Family Court of Otsego County (Mogavero, Jr., J.), entered August 17, 1989, which granted petitioner’s application, in a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 3, to adjudicate respondent a juvenile delinquent.
Respondent contends that her right to counsel was abridged by Family Court’s failure to afford counsel an opportunity to make a closing statement at the hearing (see, Family Ct Act § 342.1 [5]). Since respondent’s counsel neither requested the opportunity to make a closing argument nor objected to Family Court’s apparent oversight in failing to ask counsel if he wished to make a closing statement, the issue has not been preserved for review (see, Matter of Van Alstyne v David Q., 92 AD2d 971, 972). We also reject respondent’s argument that Family Court’s determination is not based upon proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The uncontradicted testimony of two sworn witnesses establishes that respondent committed the
Order affirmed, without costs.
