Head Matter:
In the Matter of James J. Acquard, Petitioner, v Bonnie A. Acquard, Respondent.
[666 NYS2d 57]

Opinion:
—Motion for leave to appeal and for a stay denied. Memorandum: Contrary to the statement of Family Court, it is well settled that, absent extraordinary or exigent circumstances, temporary custody should not be transferred without an evidentiary hearing in a proceeding in which there are controverted allegations (see, Kronenberger v Kronenberger, 204 AD2d 1059; see also, Hizme v Hizme, 212 AD2d 580). The transcript of the in camera interview supports the court's implicit finding of exigent cir cumstances in this case. Present—Pine, J. P., Lawton, Callahan, Doerr and Balio, JJ.
