Appellate courts have repeatedly upheld trial court rulings precluding or limiting such impeachment where the defense failed to demonstrate either the falsity of the prior complaint or sufficient similarity between the complaints suggestive of a pattern of false complaints (see People v Mandel, supra at 954; People v Ruiz, 18 AD3d 220, 221 [2005], lv denied 5 NY3d 768 [2005]; People v Hill, 17 AD3d 1081, 1082-1083 [2005], lv denied 5 NY3d 806 [2005]; People v Gibson, supra at 972 ; People v Byrd, 309 AD2d 593, 593-594 [2003], lv denied 1 NY3d 625 [2004]; People v O’Malley, 282 AD2d 884, 885 …

In the Matter of Mamadou B., a Person Alleged to be a Juvenile Delinquent
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York.
May 3, 2005.
18 A.D.3d 220
Published

— Order of disposition, Family Court, Bronx County (Alma Cordova, J.), entered on or about March 25, 2004, which adjudicated appellant a juvenile delinquent, upon a fact-finding determination that he committed acts which, if committed by an adult, would constitute grand larceny in the fourth degree, criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree, petit larceny, criminal mischief in the fourth degree, and possession of burglar’s tools, and placed him with the Office of Children and Family Services for a period of 12 months, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

The court’s findings were based on legally sufficient evidence and were not against the weight of the evidence. Issues of credibility, including the weight to be given to any alleged inconsistencies in testimony, were properly considered by the court and there is no basis for disturbing its determinations (see People v Gaimari, 176 NY 84, 94 [1903]). Concur — Mazzarelli, J.P, Sullivan, Ellerin, Gonzalez and Sweeny, JJ.
