Opinion
September 14, 1998
Appeal from the Family Court, Queens County (Freeman, J.).
Ordered that the order is reversed, without costs or disbursements, the petition is reinstated, and the matter is remitted to the Family Court, Queens County, for further proceedings consistent herewith.
Contrary to the findings of the Family Court, the record demonstrates "good cause" to adjourn the fact-finding hearing briefly to secure the attendance of the complainant, who had manifested her cooperation by appearing on a prior scheduled fact-finding hearing date. The presentment agency acted diligently by subpoenaing the witness and telephoning the witness's home and parents' place of work ( see, Matter of Paublo C., 246 A.D.2d 352; Matter of Bryant J., 195 A.D.2d 463).
O'Brien, J.P., Sullivan, Joy and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
