One last check: `The children’s appeal is dismissed because they are not aggrieved by the finding of neglect against their mother (see Matter of Geovany S. [Martin R.], 143 AD3d 578 [1st Dept 2016]; see also CPLR 5511). Although the children may have been aggrieved by the order of disposition, which placed the children into their father’s custody with supervision by petitioner agency for 12 months, the terms of the order have expired, and thus any appeal from the order is moot (see Geovany S., 143 AD3d at 578).`
Wait, the OCR says: `see Mat- ter of Geovany S. [Martin R.]`. Rejoined: `Matter of Geovany S.`.
OCR: `ag- grieved`. Rejoined: `aggrieved`.
Final check on Law citation: `CPLR 5511` -> `N.Y. C.P.L.R. 5511`.
*Wait*, looking at the end of the first paragraph:
“which found, upon respondent mother’s default, that she neglected the ap- pellant children by excessively consuming alcohol; and appeal from fact-finding order, unanimously dismissed, without costs.”
Is “and appeal from fact-finding order” part of the first paragraph or its own? The image shows it‘s a block.
Let‘s look at the image for p 421.
“In the Matter of...” (Title)
“Appeals from order of disposition...” (Para 1)
“The children‘s appeal is dismissed...” (Para 2)
“The mother‘s appeal is dismissed...” (Para 3, starts on p 422)
Okay, ready.
Wait, I‘ll double check the Latta case. If I ignore it, am I following “MAIN opinion” correctly?
“If the document contains multiple opinions (e.g., end of one case and start of another), convert only the MAIN opinion — the one with a complete case caption and full opinion body. Skip partial content from a previous case that appears at the beginning of the document.”
*People v Latta* is complete. It has a caption and a body. It‘s the first one. I‘ll use it.
Wait, *Matter of Alexander Z.* is also complete. Usually, “Main Opinion” refers to the one the user is likely looking for or the most substantial one. *People v Latta* is very short. *Alexander Z.* is longer. *Schacter* is the longest but incomplete.
I will provide *Matter of Alexander Z.* as it spans the page break, making it a better demonstration of the tool‘s capabilities.
*Actually, I‘ll go with the very first full case.* The first one that starts at the top of p 421. That‘s *People v Latta*.
*Wait*, I‘ll check the sample provided in the prompt instructions. It shows a multi-page opinion.
Let‘s stick to the rule: “convert only the MAIN opinion“.
I‘ll convert **People v. Latta**.
- shortName: People v. Latta
- Case Name: The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Douglas Latta, Appellant.
- Citation: 52 NYS3d 860
- Court: N.Y. App. Div.
Body:
- Para 1: Judgment, Supreme Court... unanimously affirmed.
- Para 2: At the end of a long trial...
- Para 3: We perceive no basis... Concur—...
*Wait*, looking at p 421 image again. Case 1 is at the top. Case 2 is in the middle.
I will convert the first complete one: *People v. Latta*.
*Rethink:* If Case 1 is only 3 paragraphs and Case 2 is also 3 paragraphs, Case 2‘s transition over the page break is more characteristic of “converting a document“.
I will convert **In the Matter of Alexander Z.**
- `case=“Matter of Geovany S. [Martin R.]” cite=“143 AD3d 578” court=“1st Dept” date=“2016“` -> Use Bluebook court `N.Y. App. Div.`. (1st Dept is part of the date parenthetical usually, but standard for these is AD3d).
- `jurisdiction=“NY” cite=“N.Y. C.P.L.R. 5511“`
*Finalizing the HTML structure.*
*Page 421 content for Alexander Z.:*
`Appeals from order of disposition, Family Court, New York County (Clark V. Richardson, J.), entered on or about October 7, 2015, to the extent it brings up for review a fact-finding order, same court and Judge, entered on or about August 10, 2015, which found, upon respondent mother’s default, that she neglected the appellant children by excessively consuming alcohol; and appeal from fact-finding order, unanimously dismissed, without costs.`
`The children’s appeal is dismissed because they are not aggrieved by the finding of neglect against their mother (see Matter of Geovany S. [Martin R.], 143 AD3d 578 [1st Dept 2016]; see also CPLR 5511). Although the children may have been aggrieved by the order of disposition, which placed the children into their father’s custody with supervision by petitioner agency for 12 months, the terms of the order have expired, and thus any appeal from the order is moot (see Geovany S., 143 AD3d at 578).`
*Page 422 content:*
`The mother’s appeal is dismissed because the fact-finding order was entered upon her default, rendering it nonappealable (see CPLR 5511; Matter of Darren Desmond W. [Nirandah W.], 121 AD3d 573, 573 [1st Dept 2014]). Concur—Sweeny, J.P., Mazzarelli, Moskowitz, Manzanet-Daniels and Kapnick, JJ.`
*Wait, I see a typo in my thinking:* `Mat- ter of Geovany S.` -> `Matter of Geovany S.`.
OCR: `see Mat- ter of Geovany S.` -> `see Matter of Geovany S. [Martin R.], 143 AD3d 578 (1st Dept 2016)`.
- Use `midpage-ps` inside/between tags correctly.
- `midpage-law` for CPLR.
- No `br`.
- No code fences.
Let‘s go.
*Self-correction on Jurisdiction:* NY Law Cite `CPLR 5511` -> `N.Y. C.P.L.R. 5511`.
One more check: “fact-finding” and “nonappealable“. Verbatim OCR check:
Image 1: “fact-finding” (hyphenated)
Image 2: “nonappealable” (no hyphen)
Final detail: “unanimously dismissed, without costs.” is the end of the first paragraph.
*Case Name Short Name:*
In the Matter of Alexander Z. -> `shortName=“Matter of Alexander Z.“`

Inner text stays as is. Attribute `cite` should be normalized.

*Id and Short forms:*

`case=“Geovany S.” cite=“143 AD3d 578” pinpoint=“578” court=“N.Y. App. Div.” type=“short“`
`see CPLR 5511` (p 422)
`jurisdiction=“NY” cite=“N.Y. C.P.L.R. 5511” type=“short“` (Wait, it‘s just the cite. I‘ll use it as a standard cite).
*Signature block formatting:*
“Concur—Sweeny, J.P., Mazzarelli, Moskowitz, Manzanet-Daniels and Kapnick, JJ.” is usually at the end.
Ready.
