Opinion Determination of respondent New York City Civil Service Commission, dated December 5, 2012, which, after a hearing, reversed the determination of petitioner Commissioner of the Department of Citywide Administrative Services that respondent Patricia V. Walker was unqualified for the examination for Principal Administrative Associate, unanimously confirmed, the petition denied, and the proceeding brought pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to this Court by order of Supreme Court, New York County [Shlomo Hagler, J.], entered September 18, 2013), dismissed, without costs.
The determination is supported by substantial evidence (see
generally 300 Gramatan Ave. Assoc. v. State Div. of Human Rights, 45 N.Y.2d 176, 180–181, 408 N.Y.S.2d 54, 379 N.E.2d 1183 [1978] ).
