Opinion
February 19, 1991
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Martin Stecher, J.).
Respondent Board of Trustees properly relied on the recommendation of the respondent Medical Board in denying petitioner's application for a disability pension, as it was entitled to do, despite conflicting medical evidence submitted by petitioner (Matter of Christian v New York City Employees' Retirement Sys., 56 N.Y.2d 841). Accordingly, the determination had a rational basis, and the IAS Court properly dismissed the proceeding.
