Opinion
February 11, 1993
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Ulster County (Harris, J.).
Petitioner attempted to initiate this proceeding by order to show cause. The order to show cause directed petitioner to serve each named respondent and the Ulster County Attorney by first class mail and the Attorney-General by first class mail, return receipt requested, and to submit proof of service "with his papers". Petitioner failed to implement service and file proof of service as directed by Supreme Court. Given that there is no indication in the record that petitioner was unable to comply with the terms of service set forth in the order to show cause, Supreme Court properly dismissed the petition for lack of personal jurisdiction (see, Ayton v Bean, 60 N.Y.2d 768; Matter of Wright v Parole Div., 132 A.D.2d 821; Matter of Alevras v Chairman of N.Y. Bd. of Parole, 118 A.D.2d 1020, appeal dismissed 68 N.Y.2d 753).
Weiss, P.J., Mikoll, Yesawich Jr., Crew III and Casey, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
