Opinion
December 22, 1986
Adjudged that the determination is confirmed and the proceeding is dismissed on the merits, with costs.
In view of the petitioner's admission at the hearing that he refused to obey his supervisor's order to provide a written statement concerning a prior incident, the Hearing Officer's findings were supported by substantial evidence. In light of the petitioner's extensive prior disciplinary record, the penalty imposed upon him was not so disproportionate to the offense as to be shocking to one's sense of fairness. Thompson, J.P., Rubin, Lawrence and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
