Ordered that the appeal from the fact-finding order is dismissed, without costs or disbursements, as that order was superseded by the order of disposition; and it is further,
Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the presentment agency (see Matter of Stevenson J., 306 AD2d 412 [2003]; Matter of Frank C., 283 AD2d 643 [2001]), we find that it was legally sufficient to support the determinations made in the fact-finding order. Moreover, resolution of issues of credibility, as well as the weight to be accorded the evidence, are primarily questions to be determined by the trier of fact, who saw and heard the witnesses (cf. People v Gaimari, 176 NY 84, 94 [1903]). Upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the determinations made in the fact-finding order were not against the weight of the evidence (cf. CPL 470.15 [5]; People v Garafolo, 44 AD2d 86 [1974]).
The appellant’s remaining contentions either are unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Altman, J.P., S. Miller, Luciano and Rivera, JJ., concur.
