Wolin & Wolin, Jericho (Alan E. Wolin of counsel), for appellant. Zachary W. Carter, Corporation Counsel, New York (Pamela Seider Dolgow of counsel), for respondents.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Geoffrey D. Wright, J.), entered October 16, 2013, which denied petitioner's motion to renew, unanimously affirmed, without costs, and the petition dismissed.
The court properly determined that there was no basis to annul respondents' determination to discontinue petitioner's probationary employment as an assistant principal. Petitioner failed to show that respondents' determination, upon reinvestigation and reconsideration, was made in bad faith, in violation of lawful procedure, or for a constitutionally impermissible purpose ( see Matter of Kolmel v. City of New York, 88 A.D.3d 527, 528, 930 N.Y.S.2d 573 [1st Dept.2011]; see also Matter of Witherspoon v. Horn, 19 A.D.3d 250, 251, 800 N.Y.S.2d 377 [1st Dept.2005] ). MAZZARELLI, J.P., DeGRASSE, RICHTER, FEINMAN, JJ., concur.
