Petitioner's contention that, pursuant to Unconsolidated Laws § 891, he was entitled to a pretermination hearing notwithstanding his probationary status has recently been rejected by this Court (see, Matter of Williams v. Safir, 265 A.D.2d 182; 696 N.Y.S.2d 139, lv denied 94 N.Y.2d 758, 2000 N.Y. LEXIS 5), and the present matter affords no reason to reach a different result.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
