In a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 75 to vacate an arbitration award dated March 18, 2011, the petitioner appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Bayne, J.), entered September 23, 2011, which denied the petition.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
Under the circumstances of this case, the petitioner, who was not a party to the subject collective bargaining agreement or the subject arbitration, lacks standing to seek vacatur of the arbitrator's award ( see CPLR 7511; Chupka v.
