In re Fabian J.
Opinion of the Court
Order of disposition, Family Court, Bronx County (Jeanette Ruiz, J.), entered on or about January 4, 2012, which adjudicated appellant a juvenile delinquent upon a fact-finding determination that he committed acts that, if committed by an adult, would constitute the crimes of robbery in the second degree, grand larceny in the fourth degree, criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree, and two counts of menacing in the third degree, and placed him on enhanced supervision probation for a period of 12 months, unanimously modified, on the law, to the extent of vacating the menacing finding under the fifth count of the petition and dismissing that count, and otherwise affirmed, without costs.
The fifth count of the petition was jurisdictionally defective. The factual allegations described a contingent threat of possible future harm, which did not constitute third-degree menacing (see Penal Law § 120.15). Concur—Mazzarelli, J.P., Acosta, Freedman, Richter and Gische, JJ.
