Head Matter:
In the Matter of William S. Hawthorne, as Deputy Commissioner of Social Welfare of the County of Erie, Respondent, v. James Hutton, Appellant.

Opinion:
Memorandum : " In filiation proceedings, the proof must be ' entirely satisfactory" to sustain an order" [directing support], (People v. Borner, 280 App. Div. 141.) The proof in this case does not meet that standard, and consequently the order was unsupported by the testimony adduced. (Appeal from order of Erie Family Court determining paternity and ordering support.) Present — Williams, P. J., Bastow, Del Veeehio and Marsh, JJ.
