OPINION OF THE COURT
Bellacosa, J.
Family Court, Bronx County, adjudicated Jamar A. a juvenile delinquent for unauthorized use of a vehicle based on acts which would constitute a crime if committed by an adult (see, Penal Law § 165.05 [1]). The Appellate Division reversed on the law and dismissed the juvenile delinquency petition (207 AD2d 251), concluding that Jamar A. was deprived of his right to a timely fact-finding hearing (see, Family Ct Act § 340.1). Two Justices dissented and the presentment agency appeals to this Court as of right on that ground (CPLR 5601 [a]).
