Opinion
October 16, 1995
Adjudged that the determination is confirmed and the proceeding is dismissed on the merits, with costs.
There is substantial evidence in the record to support the hearing panel's determination. Furthermore, the penalty of dismissal was not so disproportionate under the circumstances as to be shocking to one's sense of fairness ( see, Matter of Groht v. Sobol, 198 A.D.2d 679; Matter of Katz v. Ambach, 99 A.D.2d 897; Matter of Shurgin v. Ambach, 83 A.D.2d 665, affd 56 N.Y.2d 700; see also, Matter of Stedronsky v. Sobol, 175 A.D.2d 373).
The petitioner's remaining contentions are without merit. Rosenblatt, J.P., Miller, Ritter and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
