Opinion
April 25, 2000.
Order and judgment (one paper), Supreme Court, New York County (Louis York, J.), entered on or about November 19, 1999, which denied petitioner's application made pursuant to CPLR article 78 to annul respondent's determination terminating petitioner's employment as a probationary police officer, and dismissed the petition, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Peter D. Coddington, for petitioner-appellant.
John Hogrogian, for respondents-respondents.
WILLIAMS, J.P., MAZZARELLI, RUBIN, BUCKLEY, FRIEDMAN, JJ.
This court has rejected the argument that Unconsolidated Laws § 891 precludes a probationary employee from being terminated without a hearing (Matter of Williams v. Safir, 265 A.D.2d 182, 696 N.Y.S.2d 139, lv denied 94 N.Y.2d 758 [Jan 6, 2000], 2000 N.Y. LEXIS 5), and we see no reason to depart from that holding.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
