In re Isaiah J.
Opinion of the Court
' Given the psychologist’s unrebutted testimony and respondent’s repeated requests for adjournments, the lapse in time between the psychological evaluation and the fact-finding hearing does not warrant a different result (see Matter of Robert K., 56 AD3d 353 [2008], lv denied 12 NY3d 704 [2009]).
A dispositional hearing was not necessary to find that termination of respondent’s parental rights is in the child’s best interests (see Matter of Ashanti A., 56 AD3d 373, 374 [2008]). Concur — Tom, J.E, Sweeny, Catterson, Acosta and ManzanetDaniels, JJ.
