[*1]Ojinika Okpe, Plaintiff-Respondent,

v

Augustine Okpe, Defendant-Appellant.

Toks Sofola LLC, Brooklyn (Olatokunbo (Toks) Sofola of counsel), for appellant.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Ellen F. Gesmer, J.), entered April 21, 2014, which, after a hearing, granted plaintiff a three-year order of protection, unanimously affirmed, with costs.

Plaintiff established by a fair preponderance of the evidence that defendant committed acts warranting an order of protection in her favor (see Family Ct Act § 832). Plaintiff established that defendant committed the acts alleged in the petition, and the court's determination is supported by the record (see Everett C. v Oneida P., 61 AD3d 489 [1st Dept 2009]).

We have considered defendant's remaining arguments and find them unavailing.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER

OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.

ENTERED: FEBRUARY 16, 2016
