In the Matter of MAUREEN A. DELL‘ISOLA, Respondent, v SALVATORE DELL‘ISOLA, Appellant

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Second Department

[796 NYS2d 242]

In the Matter of MAUREEN A. DELL‘ISOLA, Respondent, v SALVATORE DELL‘ISOLA, Appellant. [796 NYS2d 242]—

In a family offense proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 8, Salvatore Dell‘Isola appeals from an order of protection of the Family Court, Suffolk County (Spinner, J.), dated August 3, 2004, which, upon a finding that he committed acts which would constitute the offense of harassment in the second degree, made after a hearing, directed him, inter alia, to stay away from the petitioner and the parties’ children until August 3, 2005.

Ordered that the order of protection is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The testimony proffered at the hearing in the Family Court established, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the appellant committed acts which would constitute the offense of harassment in the second degree (see Family Ct Act § 812 [1]; Penal Law § 240.26 [1], [3]; cf.

;
). Thus, the Family Court properly issued an order of protection against the appellant, directing him, inter alia, to stay away from the petitioner and the parties’ children, since the record demonstrated that he conducted himself in an offensive and frightening manner toward the petitioner (see
;
;
;
).

The appellant‘s remaining contentions are without merit.
