In re James S.

Order of disposition, Family Court, New York County (Bruce Kaplan, J.), entered April 30, 1994, which adjudicated respondent a juvenile delinquent upon his admission that he committed acts which, if committed by an adult, would constitute the crime of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, and placed him in a limited secure facility with the Division for Youth for a period of up to 18 months, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

For the reasons stated in Matter of Deshone C. ( 207 AD2d 756 , lv denied 85 NY2d 801 ), there is no merit to respondent’s contention that the petition was jurisdictionally defective. Placement in a limited secure facility was justified by evidence at the dispositional hearing of a history of truancy and behavioral and emotional problems, and a need for intense supervision and control that makes the home of respondent’s relatives an unsuitable alternative (see, Matter of Frank C., 211 AD2d 596 ). Concur — Rosenberger, J. P., Asch, Williams and Mazzarellli, JJ.
