In the Matter of GERARD T., a Person Alleged to be a Juvenile Delinquent, Appellant.

Appellant was not denied his right to a speedy fact-finding hearing. The record demonstrates that each of the two single-day adjournments in question, which occurred on the two days immediately following the blizzard of January 7-8, 1996 ( see, Matter of David W., 241 A.D.2d 388), were clearly the result of the blizzard. We find that both the "good cause" requirement of Family Court Act § 340.1 (4) (a) and the "special circumstances" requirement of Family Court Act § 340.1 (6) were satisfied. We have considered appellant's remaining arguments and find them to be without merit.

Concur — Murphy, P.J., Sullivan, Milonas, Mazzarelli and Andrias, JJ.
