Abstract: As a generalization of the free semigroup algebras considered by Davidson and Pitts, and others, the second author and D.W. Kribs initiated a study of reflexive algebras associated with directed graphs. A free semigroupoid algebra $ \mathcal{L}_G$ is generated by a family of partial isometries, and initial projections, which act on a generalized Fock space spawned by the directed graph $ G$. We show that if the graph is finite, then $ \mathcal{L}_G$ is hyper-reflexive.
