D.J. & J.A. CIRANDO, ESQS., SYRACUSE (ELIZABETH deV. MOELLER OF
COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT-RESPONDENT.
Appeal from an order of the Family Court, Onondaga County (Thomas
Benedetto, R.), entered July 22, 2013 in a proceeding pursuant to
Family Court Act article 8. The order dismissed the petition.
It is hereby ORDERED that the order so appealed from is
unanimously affirmed without costs.
Memorandum: Petitioner appeals from an order dismissing her
Family Court Act article 8 petition alleging that respondent willfully
violated an order of protection directing him to stay away from
petitioner. We affirm. Contrary to petitioner’s contention, she
failed to establish by clear and convincing evidence that respondent
willfully violated the terms of the order of protection (cf. Matter of
Mary Ann YY. v Edward YY., 100 AD3d 1253, 1254).
