In the Matter of JEFFREY W., a Person Alleged to be a Juvenile Delinquent, Appellant.

Ordered that the appeals from the fact-finding orders are dismissed, without costs or disbursements, as those orders were superseded by the orders of disposition and are brought up for review on the appeals from the orders of disposition; and it is further,

Ordered that the appeal from the order entered in the appellant's favor and upon the parties' consent is dismissed, without costs or disbursements ( see CPLR 5511; Barry v Barry, 60 AD3d 882); and it is further,

Ordered that the orders of disposition are affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The Family Court is vested with broad discretion in entering dispositional orders, and its determination is entitled to deference ( see Matter of Summer D., 67 AD3d 1008, 1009; Matter of Dania W, 65 AD3d 1356, 1357; Matter of Michael L., 64 AD3d 780, 781; Matter of Michael D., 60 AD3d 945; Matter of Javed K., 57 AD3d 899, 900). Here, in determining the least restrictive available alternative consistent with the appellant's best interests and the need for protection of the community ( see Family Ct Act § 352.2 [a]), the Family Court providently exercised its discretion in placing the appellant in the custody of the New York State Office of Children and Family Services in a secure facility ( see Matter of Leonard J., 67 AD3d 911, 912; Matter of Michael L., 64 AD3d at 781; Matter of Tremain M., 63 AD3d 742, 743; Matter of Ashanti B., 62 AD3d 790, 791; Matter of Bruce B., 54 AD3d 1031; Matter of Gustan G., 52 AD3d 513, 514).
