In re Jafar B.
Opinion of the Court
Orders of disposi
The placement was a proper exercise of the court’s discretion, and it constituted the least restrictive alternative consistent with appellant’s needs and best interests and the community’s need for protection (see Matter of Katherine W., 62 NY2d 947 [1984]). The disposition was justified by the seriousness of the current and prior offenses and appellant’s failure to benefit from probation. We do not find the length of the placement excessive. Concur — Andrias, J.P., Sweeny, Moskowitz, Freedman and Manzanet-Daniels, JJ.
