Grogan, Referee), entered on or about December 13, 2024, which, following a fact-finding hearing, found petitioner failed to establish respondent committed any family offense, dismissed the petition, and vacated the temporary order of protection, unanimously affirmed, without costs.</p> <p>Family Court properly dismissed the family offense petition, as petitioner failed to establish by a fair preponderance of the evidence that respondent had committed any acts warranting an order of protection in petitioner's favor (<i>see Matter of Tawanna R. v Michael E.G.</i>, 226 AD3d 524, 524 [1st Dept 2024]). We find no basis to disturb the</p> <p>court's findings that respondent was more credible than petitioner (<i>see Matter of Sherida L. v Hoggarth S.</i>, 237 AD3d 541, 542 [1st Dept 2025]).</p> <p>THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER</p> <p>OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.</p> <p>ENTERED: May 12, 2026</p> </div> <div> <footer> <div> <p>Court Decisions</p> All Court Decisions Official Reports Service Bound Volumes Decision Search </div> <div> <p>Resources</p> RSS Feeds Style Manual Citation Tools Opinion Formatting &amp; Privacy Guidelines Opinion Selection Criteria Legal Research Portal Site Index </div> <div> <p>About</p> About our Operations Contact Us Twitter </div> <div> <p>Quick Contact Info</p> <p>17 Lodge Street</p> <p>Albany, NY 12207</p> <p>Phone: (518) 453-6900</p> </div> </footer> </div> <div> <p>Links to or from other sites do not signify endorsement or relationship with them.</p> </div> </div>
