In re Altagracia L.
Opinion of the Court
—Order of disposition, Family Court, New York County (Mary Bednar, J.),
The court’s finding was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. We see no reason to disturb the court’s determinations concerning credibility. There was ample evidence to disprove appellant’s defense of justification beyond a reasonable doubt, including evidence that appellant sought out the complainant, initiated an altercation with her, struck her, and stabbed her several times with scissors. Concur — Ellerin, P. J., Rosenberger, Nardelli, Lerner and Andrias, JJ.
