IN RE WALEEK

Ordered that the appeal from so much of the order of disposition as placed the appellant in the custody of the New York State Office of Children and Family Services for a period of 12 months is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements, as the period of placement has expired; and it is further,

Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed insofar as reviewed, without costs or disbursements; and it is further,

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

The Family Court properly found, based upon the appellant's admission that he committed acts which, if committed by an adult, would have constituted the crime of assault in the third degree, that the appellant violated the probation imposed in connection with his earlier offense ( see Matter of Chrisma H., 35 AD3d 607, 608; People v Baucom, 154 AD2d 688, 689; People v Ware, 29 AD2d 557; see also Matter of Jermaine D., 29 AD3d 576).

The appellant contends that the placement with the New York State Office of Children and Family Services was not the "least restrictive" alternative within the meaning of Family Court Act § 352.2 (2) (a). However, the Family Court has broad discretion in determining dispositions ( see Matter of Naiquan T., 265 AD2d 331, 332; Matter of Tristan W., 258 AD2d 585, 586; Family Ct Act § 141). Considering the seriousness of the acts which the appellant admitted, as well as the fact that the acts were committed while the appellant was on probation, the Family Court properly exercised its discretion in making its determination as to placement ( see Matter of Chrisma H., supra; Matter of Rashawn H., 29 AD3d 696, 697).

The appellant's remaining contention is without merit.
