In the Matter of DONNA A. BARTLEY, Respondent, v. RONALD C. BARTLEY, Appellant.

Ordered that the notice of appeal from the order of protection is deemed a premature notice of appeal from the order of disposition ( see CPLR 5520 [c]); and it is further,

Ordered that the order of disposition is reversed, on the law, without costs or disbursements, the order of protection is vacated, and the proceeding is dismissed.

Contrary to the Family Court's determination, the record does not support its finding that the petitioner proved by a preponderance of the evidence (see Family Ct Act § 832; Matter of Phillips v Laland, 4 AD3d 529, 530) that the appellant committed acts constituting the family offense of disorderly conduct, warranting the issuance of an order of protection. The testimony and evidence demonstrates that while the appellant was clearly upset with the petitioner during and after the event celebrating their daughter's college graduation, and demonstrated poor judgment in confronting the petitioner in the upstairs of the marital home and in arguing with her and three others in the kitchen, he barely raised his voice, he did not threaten the petitioner, and his conduct did not cause those involved in the argument to leave the home (see Family Ct Act §§ 812, 832; Penal Law § 240.20; cf. Matter of Rankoth v Sloan, 44 AD3d 863; Matter of Bonsignore v Bonsignore, 37 AD3d 602; Matter of Kraus v Kraus, 26 AD3d 494; Matter of Sarmuksnis v Priest, 21 AD3d 381, 383; Matter of Clarke v Clarke, 8 AD3d 375; Matter of Platsky v Platsky, 237 AD2d 610).
