Let R be a ring and let SL(2,R) be the special linear group of 2 × 2 matrices with determinant 1 over R. We obtain the Wedderburn decomposition of \( \frac{{\mathbbm{F}}_q SL\left(2,{\mathbb{Z}}_3\right)}{J\left({\mathbbm{F}}_q SL\left(2,{\mathbb{Z}}_3\right)\right)} \) and show that \( 1+J\left({\mathbbm{F}}_q SL\left(2,{\mathbb{Z}}_3\right)\right) \) is a non-Abelian group, where 𝔽q is a finite field with q = pk elements of characteristic 2 and 3.
