DECISION JUDGMENT
ADJUDGED that the determination is confirmed and the proceeding is dismissed on the merits, with costs.
The administrative determination is supported by substantial evidence ( see, Matter of Lee TT. v. Dowling, 87 N.Y.2d 699, 713; Matter of Burks v. Wing, 242 A.D.2d 624).
The petitioner's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
MANGANO, P.J., BRACKEN, S. MILLER, and SULLIVAN, JJ., concur.
