IN THE MATTER OF MICHAEL L. (ANONYMOUS), appellant.

ORDERED that the appeal from so much of the order of disposition as placed the appellant on probation for a period of 18 months is dismissed as academic, without costs or disbursements; and it is further,

ORDERED that the order of disposition is affirmed insofar as reviewed, without costs or disbursements.

The appellant, in the presence of his mother, was advised of his Miranda rights (see, Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436) by a detective. The appellant and his mother indicated, both orally and in writing, that they understood these rights (see, Matter of James W., 130 A.D.2d 753). Contrary to the appellant's contention, his statements to the detective were voluntarily made after his Miranda rights were knowingly and intelligently waived (see, Family Ct Act — 305.2[4], [7]; Matter of Javier L., 272 A.D.2d 474).

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the presentment agency (cf., People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the appellant committed an act which, if committed by an adult, would have constituted the crime of sexual abuse in the first degree (see, Penal Law — 130.65[3]; Matter of Robert R., 248 A.D.2d 542).

The appellant's remaining contentions are either without merit or do not require reversal.

SANTUCCI, J.P., GOLDSTEIN, FLORIO and CRANE, JJ., concur.
