Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., NANCY E. SMITH, HOWARD MILLER, GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, JJ.
DECISION JUDGMENT
ADJUDGED that the determination is confirmed, the petition is denied, and the proceeding is dismissed on the merits, without costs or disbursements.
Contrary to the petitioner's contention, he was not denied adequate employee assistance ( see Matter of Greene v. Coombe, 242 A.D.2d 796, 797; Matter of Clavijo v. Coombe, 236 A.D.2d 692).
There is substantial evidence in the record to support the challenged determination ( see Matter of Kalish v. Keane, 256 A.D.2d 343, 344).
The petitioner's remaining contentions are without merit.
RITTER, J.P., SMITH, H. MILLER and GOLDSTEIN, JJ., concur.
