Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York December 26, 2012 (In re Brianna L.)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Leventhal, J.

The novel issue we address on this appeal is whether a Criminal Court order of protection which bars contact between a *183parent and a child, but includes a provision stating that it is subject to subsequent Family Court orders of custody and visitation, permits the Family Court to release the child to the custody of that parent.
