IN RE GUARDIANSHIP, ETC., SHARLESE DANIELLE S., ETC., A DEPENDENT CHILD UNDER THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN YEARS, ETC., THOMAS W., Respondent-Appellant, LITTLE FLOWER CHILDREN'S SERVICES, Petitioner-Respondent.

The agency was excused from exercising diligent efforts to encourage the parent-child relationship in light of respondent father's conviction of assault in the second degree after abusing the child and the order of protection issued against him (see Matter of Joseluise Jaun M., 302 A.D.2d 219, 2003 N.Y. App. Div LEXIS 886; Matter of Kaxey Marie M., 292 A.D.2d 898). The evidence amply demonstrated that it would not have been in the child's best interests to be reunited with her father and the father's parental rights were properly terminated (see Matter of Joseluise Juan M., supra).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
