IN THE MATTER OF ANGO H. (ANONYMOUS), APPELLANT.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

Contrary to the appellant's contention, he was not deprived of his right to a speedy fact-finding hearing. The fact-finding hearing was timely commenced ( see, Family Ct Act § 340.1, [4][b]; cf, Matter of Kareem T., 180 A.D.2d 802; Matter of Eric F., 126 A.D.2d 39). Any adjournment granted after commencement did not implicate the appellant's right to a speedy fact-finding hearing ( see, Matter of Sharnell J., 237 A.D.2d 290).

The appellant was not deprived of his right to a speedy dispositional hearing. The record demonstrates that the first adjournment was granted "for good cause shown" (Family Ct Act § 350.1[a]; see, Matter of Perry O., 232 A.D.2d 225). The court providently exercised its discretion in granting the subsequent adjournments ( see, Family Ct Act § 350.1; Matter of Jose R., 83 N.Y.2d 388; Matter of Eddie M., 196 A.D.2d 25).

SANTUCCI, J.P., S. MILLER, SMITH and CRANE, JJ., concur.
