Opinion
Argued September 9, 1981
Decided October 15, 1981
Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department, PEGGY BERNHEIM, J.
John Holbrook, appellant pro se. Robert Abrams, Attorney-General (Arlene R. Silverman and Shirley Adelson Siegel of counsel), for respondents.
MEMORANDUM.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.
On review of the record here, we cannot say that respondents' termination of petitioner was for "a constitutionally impermissible purpose or in violation of statutory proscription" (James v Board of Educ., 37 N.Y.2d 891, 892). Moreover, the petitioner produced no evidence that the director of administration, the same officer who signed petitioner's letter of appointment, was not authorized to sign his letter of termination.
Chief Judge COOKE and Judges JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and MEYER concur.
Order affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum.
