Opinion
April 10, 1995
Appeal from the Family Court, Kings County (Palmer, J.).
Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, without costs or disbursements, the petition is reinstated, and the matter is remitted to the Family Court, Kings County, for further proceedings consistent herewith.
Under the circumstances of this case, we find that the Family Court improperly dismissed the juvenile delinquency petition since the presentment agency demonstrated on the record that special circumstances existed to warrant a brief adjournment (Family Ct Act § 340.1; see, Matter of Carlos T., 187 A.D.2d 38; cf., Matter of Nakia L., 81 N.Y.2d 898). Mangano, P.J., O'Brien, Ritter, Pizzuto and Florio, JJ., concur.
