In a juvenile delinquency proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 3, the appeal is from an order of disposition of the Family Court, Queens County (Hunt, J.), dated April 25, 2006, which, upon a fact-finding order of the same court dated March 7, 2006, made after a hearing, finding that the appellant had committed acts which, if committed by an adult, would have constituted the crimes of criminal sexual act in the first degree, sexual abuse in the first degree, and sexual abuse in the second degree, adjudged him to be a juvenile delinquent and placed him on probation for a period of 18 months. The appeal from the order of disposition brings up for review the fact-finding order.
Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The appellant’s contention that the Family Court should have drawn adverse inferences with respect to certain witnesses who did not testify at the fact-finding hearing is unpreserved for appellate review (see Matter of Nasheem R, 23 AD3d 662, 664 [2005] ; Matter of Toniqua A., 7 AD3d 792, 793 [2004]; cf. CPL 470.05 [2]) and, in any event, is without merit (cf. People v Gonzalez, 68 NY2d 424, 427 [1986]). Mastro, J.E, Covello, McCarthy and Dickerson, JJ., concur.
