DECISION & ORDER

[*1]In the Matter of David W. (Anonymous),
appellant. (Docket No. S-186-02)
George E. Reed, Jr.,
In a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 7, the
appeal is from an order of fact-finding and disposition of the Family Court,
Westchester County (Klein, J.), entered August 27, 2002, which, upon the
partial admission of David W., adjudged him to be a person in need of
supervision and directed that he be placed under the supervision of the
Westchester County Department of Probation for a period of one year.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed,
without costs or disbursements.
Under the particular circumstances of this case, the Family
Court properly assigned counsel to the petitioner, the appellant's mother (see
Family Ct Act §§ 261, 262). Contrary to the appellant's contention, there is no
evidence in the record to support the claim that he was denied the effective
assistance of counsel as a result of the amount of compensation paid to the Law
Guardian (see Matter of Joseph S., 298 AD2d 588, 589; Matter of Donald P., 285
AD2d 510, 511).
The appellant's remaining contentions are without merit.
