Syracuse, New York: State Supreme Court Justice Donald Greenwood tried everything he could to convince a 30-year-old man to move out of his parents' house on his own.

But after half-an-hour of back-and-forth on Tuesday, primarily between the son, Michael Rotondo, and the judge, the judge had had enough.

Rotondo would have to move out, the judge ruled. He also ordered adult protective services to investigate, expressing concern about what was going on.

That order capped a surreal 30-minute court appearance in which Rotondo did not deny that his parents had given him multiple orders to leave their home on 408 Weatheridge Drive, Camillus.
