IN RE JONATHAN F., A PERSON ALLEGED TO BE A JUVENILE DELINQUENT, APPELLANT. PRESENTMENT AGENCY.

The court's finding was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. There is no basis upon which to disturb the court's determinations concerning credibility. Evidence properly credited by the court clearly established appellant's guilt, and the requisite mental states could be properly inferred from appellant's conduct and the surrounding circumstances.

The evidence establishes that the attempted robbery involved a dangerous instrument rather than a deadly weapon. While the petition erroneously referred to the deadly weapon section (Penal Law § 160.15), the supporting deposition gave sufficient notice of the actual crime charged in that the complainant stated that a "dangerous instrument" was used (see, Matter of Jason J., 187 A.D.2d 652, lv denied 81 N.Y.2d 706; Matter of Philip M., 179 A.D.2d 1034). Furthermore, the order following the fact-finding hearing correctly referred to the dangerous instrument section (§ 160.15[3]). Since the order of disposition listed the wrong subsection with regard to the attempted first-degree robbery finding, we modify that order to conform it with the fact-finding order.

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