In re India G.
Opinion of the Court
In a juvenile delinquency proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 3, the appeal is from an order of disposition of the Family Court, Kings County (Spodek, J.), dated July 14, 2006, which, upon a fact-finding order of the same court dated May 2, 2006, made after a hearing, finding that the appellant had committed acts which, if committed by an adult, would have constituted the crimes of attempted robbery in the first degree, attempted robbery in the second degree (two counts), attempted grand larceny in the fourth degree, menacing in the second degree, and menacing in the third degree, adjudged her to be a juvenile delinquent and placed her on probation for a period of 14 months.
Ordered that the order of disposition is modified, on the law, by deleting the provision thereof adjudicating the appellant a juvenile delinquent based upon the finding that she committed acts which, if committed by an adult, would have constituted the crime of menacing in the third degree and substituting therefor a provision dismissing that count of the petition; as so modified, the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements, and the fact-finding order is modified accordingly.
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the presentment agency (see Matter of David H., 69 NY2d 792 [1987]),
However, as the presentment agency correctly concedes, the count of menacing in the third degree constituted a lesser included offense of the count of menacing in the second degree (cf. CPL 1.20 [37]; 300.40 [3] [b]). Therefore, we dismiss that count of the petition.
The appellant’s remaining contentions are without merit. Miller, J.P., Angiolillo, Garni and Dickerson, JJ., concur.
