March 28, 2006.
In a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 to review a determination of the New York City Employees' Retirement System dated May 14, 2004, which denied the petitioner's application for an ordinary disability retirement pension, the petitioner appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Dabiri, J.), dated May 4, 2005, which denied the petition and dismissed the proceeding.
Agruso Trovato, LLP, Ronkonkoma, N.Y. (Andrew P. Vecere of counsel), for appellant.
Michael A. Cardozo, Corporation Counsel, New York, N.Y. (Francis F. Caputo and Susan Paulson of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Schmidt, J.P., Crane, Rivera and Spolzino, JJ., concur.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
The Supreme Court properly denied the petition and dismissed the proceeding in light of the narrow standard of review defined by the Court of Appeals in Matter of Borenstein v. New York City Employees' Retirement Sys. ( 88 NY2d 756, 760-761; see Matter of Ackalitis v. Murphy, 5 AD3d 381, 382; Matter of Drew v.
