In re Draielle P.
Opinion of the Court
In a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 7, the Westchester County Department of Probation appeals, as limited by its brief, from so much of an order of disposition of the Family Court, Westchester County (Klein, J.), dated May 16,
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
The determination of an appropriate disposition is a matter that rests within the Family Court’s discretion (see Family Ct Act § 779; cf. Matter of Ashlie B., 37 AD3d 997, 998 [2007]; Matter of Brittany S., 298 AD2d 997 [2002]; Matter of Jeremy L., 220 AD2d 908, 909 [1995]; Matter of April FF., 195 AD2d 860, 861 [1993]). Under the particular circumstances of this case, the Family Court’s disposition constituted a provident exercise of discretion.
In light of our determination, we reach no other issue. Fisher, J.P., Lifson, Covello and McCarthy, JJ., concur.
