Ordered that the appeal from the fact-finding order is dismissed, without costs or disbursements, as that order is not appealable as of right (see, Family Ct Act § 365.1 [1]); and it is further,

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the Presentment Agency (cf., People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to support the determination made in the fact-finding order. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the Family Court’s findings of fact were not against the weight of the evidence (cf., CPL 470.15 [5]).
