Matter of Clovsky v. Stanley

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Sep 26, 1991
176 A.D.2d 419 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

September 26, 1991

Appeal from the Family Court of Chemung County (Danaher, Jr., J.).


Respondent failed to object to the admission into evidence of the human leucocyte antigen blood test. However, he now claims that it was not properly received into evidence. In view of the fact that at the time of the test's admission respondent affirmatively stated that he had "no objection", he should not now be permitted to challenge Family Court's review of the test results (see, Matter of Kimiecik v. Daryl E., 92 A.D.2d 1063; see also, Matter of Ryan v. Paul B., 124 A.D.2d 463). In any event, we reject respondent's contention that petitioner failed to establish a chain of custody relative to the blood used for the test. The results were properly certified in accordance with CPLR 4518 (c) and no other foundational requirements were necessary in order to admit the results (see, Matter of Beaudoin v. David RR., 152 A.D.2d 776). Finally, respondent's claim that Family Court lacked jurisdiction to award custody is without merit (see, Family Ct Act § 549 [a]).

Mahoney, P.J., Casey, Mikoll, Levine and Harvey, JJ., concur. Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs.
