In a proceeding pursuant to Social Services Law — 384-b to terminate parental rights, the mother appeals from a dispositional order of the Family Court, Kings County (Staton, J.), dated November 6, 1998, which, after fact-finding and dispositional hearings, terminated her parental rights and transferred guardianship and custody of the subject child to St. Vincent's Services, Inc., for the purpose of adoption.
Edward E. Caesar, Brooklyn, N.Y., for appellant.
Ricardo E. Fernandez, New York, N.Y., Law Guardian for the child.
Before: FRED T. SANTUCCI, J.P., GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, ANITA R. FLORIO, STEPHEN G. CRANE, JJ.
ORDERED that the dispositional order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
A suspended judgment may be revoked if the Family Court finds that a preponderance of the evidence adduced at a violation hearing establishes noncompliance with a condition of that judgment (see, Matter of Alka H., 278 A.D.2d 326; Matter of A. Children, 255 A.D.2d 510; Matter of Jennifer VV., 241 A.D.2d 622; Matter of Jennifer T., 224 A.D.2d 843; Matter of Joshua Justin T., 208 A.D.2d 469; Matter of Israel R., 200 A.D.2d 498; Matter of Grace Q., 200 A.D.2d 894; Matter of Lawrence Clinton S., 186 A.D.2d 808; Matter of Gerald M., 112 A.D.2d 6). The evidence presented at the violation hearing supports the Family Court's determination that the mother failed to satisfy the conditions of her suspended judgment and that the termination of her parental rights was in the best interests of her child (see, Matter of Alka H., supra; In re Nicole OO., 262 A.D.2d 808; Matter of A. Children, supra; Matter of W., 226 A.D.2d 385; Matter of Joshua Justin T., supra).
The mother's remaining contention is without merit.
