Opinion
November 6, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Held, J.).
Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, the petition is granted, the motion is denied, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Kings County, for entry of a judgment confirming the award.
None of the grounds set forth in CPLR 7511 (b) for vacating an arbitration award are present in this case. Moreover, the arbitrator's determination was neither totally irrational nor violative of public policy (see, Matter of East Ramapo Teachers Assn. v East Ramapo Cent. School Dist., 191 A.D.2d 696). Thus, we conclude that the respondent has failed to sustain the heavy burden borne by one seeking vacatur of an arbitration award (see, Binghamton Civ. Serv. Forum v City of Binghamton, 44 N.Y.2d 23, 28). Mangano, P.J., Miller, Santucci and Hart, JJ., concur.
