In the Matter of MICHAEL L., Appellant.

Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.

The Family Court has broad discretion in entering dispositional orders ( see Matter of Ariell C., 54 AD3d 1034; Matter of Donnell W., 36 AD3d 926). 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]; Matter of Bruce B., 54 AD3d 1031), the court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in placing the appellant in the custody of the Office of Children and Family Services with authorization to place him in a limited secure facility.

The appellant's remaining contention is without merit.
