Opinion
Submitted November 29, 2000.
December 19, 2000.
In a proceeding pursuant to CPLR 7511 to vacate an arbitration award dated January 31, 2000, the petitioner appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Orange County (Peter C. Patsalos, J.), dated April 11, 2000, which denied the petition and dismissed the proceeding.
Michael H. Sussman, Goshen, N.Y. (Stephen Bergstein of counsel), for appellant.
Shaw Perelson, Highland, N.Y. (David S. Shaw and Lisa S. Rusk of counsel), for respondent.
Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., WILLIAM D. FRIEDMANN, HOWARD MILLER, SANDRA J. FEUERSTEIN, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
Contrary to the petitioner's contention, the Hearing Officer did not make any findings based on uncharged conduct (see, Matter of Block v. Ambach, 73 N.Y.2d 323, 332). Moreover, the award was final and definite (see, CPLR 7511[b][1][iii]; Matter of Meisels v. Uhr, 79 N.Y.2d 526, 536). Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly denied the petition.
