In the Matter of Anonymous. St. Christopher’s Home, Respondents; Judith Longobardi, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that a guardianship proceeding under Social Services Law §384 does not require the agency to show the diligent‑efforts requirement found in the Family Court Act §§611 and 614. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for further proceedings consistent with this interpretation.
