JEANNE M. COLOMBO, ROCHESTER, FOR PETITIONER.

DANIEL M. DELAUS, JR., COUNTY ATTORNEY, ROCHESTER (PAUL D. FULLER OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENTS.

Present: Scudder, P.J., Smith, Centra, Fahey and Pine, JJ.


It is hereby ordered that the determination is unanimously confirmed without costs and the petition is dismissed.

Memorandum: Petitioner commenced this proceeding seeking to annul the determination that it violated the Public Health Law by selling tobacco to a minor. Initially, we note that the petition raises no substantial evidence issue, and thus Supreme Court erred in transferring the proceeding to this Court pursuant to CPLR 7804 (g). Nevertheless, we consider the merits of the petition in the interest of judicial economy ( see Matter of Ryder v Daines, 57 AD3d 1411; Matter of Rauch v DeBuono, 265 AD2d 797).

We reject the contention of petitioner that its constitutional rights were violated by virtue of the fact that the formal notice of violation was signed by an inspector from the Monroe County Department of Health who did not observe the violation ( see Matter of Fay's Inc. v New York State Dept. of Health, 241 AD2d 815). Also contrary to the contention of petitioner, its right to due process in this administrative proceeding was not violated inasmuch as the record establishes that it received adequate notice of the allegations against it and an opportunity to be heard ( see generally Matter of Tax Foreclosure No. 35, 127 AD2d 220, affd 71 NY2d 863). We have considered petitioner's remaining contentions and conclude that they are without merit.
