DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Contrary to the appellant's contention, the Family Court providently exercised its discretion in placing him with Berkshire Farms for a period of 18 months ( see Family Court Act § 352.2[a]; Matter of Katherine W., 62 N.Y.2d 947; Matter of Jaime D., 293 A.D.2d 749; Matter of Shariyf W., 245 A.D.2d 383; Matter of Wayne H., 242 A.D.2d 535; Matter of Jason W., 207 A.D.2d 495; Matter of Kristi L.M., 197 A.D.2d 903; Matter of Mack M., 175 A.D.2d 869). In addition, the Family Court properly found that giving the appellant credit for time served would not serve his best interests, nor adequately protect the community, especially in light of the felony committed by the appellant during the pendency of the instant disposition ( see Matter of Brian E., 242 A.D.2d 720; Matter of Mack M., supra).
RITTER, J.P., TOWNES, MASTRO and SKELOS, JJ., concur.
