[*1]In the Matter of Nevzat Ayar, appellant,

v

Arzu Akcay, respondent.

Paul W. Matthews, New York, NY, for appellant.

Elliot Green, Brooklyn, NY, for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER

In a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 8, Nevzat Ayar appeals from an order of the Family Court, Kings County (Susan Quirk, J.), dated June 24, 2019. The order, after a fact-finding hearing, in effect, denied the family offense petition and dismissed the proceeding.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

Nevzat Ayar commenced this family offense proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 8 against Arzu Akcay, with whom Ayar had been in a romantic relationship for several years. After a fact-finding hearing, the Family Court, in effect, denied the petition and dismissed the proceeding. Ayar appeals.

We agree with the Family Court's determination that Ayar failed to establish by a preponderance of the evidence that Akcay committed the family offense of stalking in the fourth degree (see Family Ct Act §§ 812, 832; Penal Law § 120.45; see also Matter of Nunziata v Nunziata, 93 AD3d 800).

Ayar's remaining contentions are without merit.

MASTRO, J.P., LEVENTHAL, MALTESE and IANNACCI, JJ., concur.
