Head Matter:
In the Matter of Devontee I., a Person Alleged to be a Juvenile Delinquent, Appellant.
[19 NYS3d 893]

Opinion:
Order of disposition, Family Court, Bronx County (Gayle P. Roberts, J.), entered on or about October 30, 2014, which adjudicated appellant a juvenile delinquent upon his admission that he committed an act that, if committed by an adult, would constitute the crime of attempted assault in the third degree, and imposed a conditional discharge for a period of 12 months, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The court providently exercised its discretion in adjudicating appellant a juvenile delinquent rather than a person in need of supervision in light of his violence toward his mother and his pattern of serious misconduct in and out of school (see e.g. Matter of Jade Q., 41 AD3d 327 [1st Dept 2007]). Concur — Mazzarelli, J.P., Richter, Manzanet-Daniels and Kapnick, JJ.
