OPINION OF THE COURT

Scudder, J.

We review, as a matter of first impression at the appellate level, whether Family Court retains subject matter jurisdiction to conduct a permanency hearing pursuant to the provisions of Family Court Act article 10-A where, as here, the petition pursuant to Family Court Act article 10 alleging that the child is a neglected child has been dismissed.
