1Opinion of the Court
In a sibling visitation proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 6, the petitioner appeals from an order of the Family Court, Queens County (Fitzmaurice, J.), dated November 18, 2011, which, after a fact-finding hearing, dismissed his petition seeking visitation with his minor sibling.
Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
“[T]he determination of visitation is within the sound discretion of the trial court based upon the best interests of the child, and its determination will not be set aside unless it lacks a sound and substantial basis in the record”…
