Upd’d by TJC for Spring ‘11; ok per TJC for Fall ‘11 Attorney for the Child Program Appellate Division, Fourth Department Case Law Update March 2011- March 2012 Prepared by: Tanya J. Conley, Esq. Director, Training and Appellate Litigation Legal Aid Society of Rochester Juvenile Justice Division 1 West Main Street, Suite 800 Rochester, NY 14614 (585) 295-5786 [email protected] PINS In the Matter of Sarah C.B., – 2012 WL 266088 - January 31, 2012 Matter originated as a JD proceeding and was ultimately converted to a PINS upon AFC’s motion to convert. Order of Protection expired prior to perfection of appeal and was therefore moot. In the Matter of Nicholas R.Y., 2012 WL 266 371 - January 31, 2012 Order of PINS placing child on probation is reversed and petition dismissed. Diligent efforts were alleged in a conclusory fashion. Failure to comply with statute is non-waivable jurisdictional defect. In the Matter of Andrea F.P., 89 A.D.3d 1423 Although similar facts to Nicholas, Appellate Division relied on Mercedes to deny appeal.
