Bifolco v. Kelly

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Dec 16, 2010
79 A.D.3d 544 (N.Y. App. Div. 2010)

Opinion

No. 3904.

December 16, 2010.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Marylin G. Diamond, J.), entered January 15, 2009, which denied petitioner's application to annul respondent Police Commissioner's determination terminating petitioner's employment as a probationary police officer, and directed entry of a judgment dismissing the proceeding, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Robert David Goodstein Associates, New Rochelle (Robert David Goodstein of counsel), for appellant.

Michael A. Cardozo, Corporation Counsel, New York (Scott Shorr of counsel), for respondents.

Before: Gonzalez, P.J., Catterson, Acosta, Richter and Abdus-Salaam, JJ.


The record establishes that petitioner was on restricted duty from December 29, 2006 through June 18, 2007 and, therefore, his six-month disciplinary probationary term did not begin until June 19, 2007 and did not end until December 19, 2007 ( see Matter of Garcia v Bratton, 90 NY2d 991, 992-993). Because the incidents leading to petitioner's dismissal occurred on August 3, 2007, well within the probationary period, respondents could terminate petitioner without a hearing ( see Matter of York v McGuire, 63 NY2d 760; Matter of Witherspoon v Horn, 19 AD3d 250, 251).
