Court Should Have Granted an Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal In a Juvenile Delinquency Proceeding

The First Department, over a dissent, determined that an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal (ACD) was the least restrictive dispositional alternative in a juvenile delinquency proceeding:

An adjournment in contemplation of dismissal would have been the least restrictive dispositional alternative consistent with appellant’s needs and the community’s need for protection … . This was appellant’s first offense. She admitted the allegations of the petition but asserted, as did her mother, that the incident resulted from her having been bullied by the complainant with no corrective action taken by appellant’s school. While appellant had truancy issues at school, at the time of the disposition she was employed, was being treated for depression, and was generally making progress. Based on all these factors, there is no reason to believe that appellant needed any supervision beyond that which could have been provided under an ACD. It should also be noted that under the terms of an ACD, the court could have required the Probation Department to monitor appellant, and her observance of a curfew and other requirements. Matter of Clarissa V, 2014 NY Slip Op 03431, 5-13-14
