LAWRENCE J. BRACKEN, J.P., WILLIAM C. THOMPSON, GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, LEO F. McGINITY, ROBERT W. SCHMIDT, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
The Supreme Court correctly denied the petition and dismissed the proceeding, as a rational basis existed for the respondents' refusal to reappoint the petitioner to the position of Bus Operator ( see, Matter of Hedeman v. County of Dutchess, 234 A.D.2d 294; Matter of Dramis v. Nassau County Community Coll., 173 A.D.2d 705; Matter of Schmitt v. Kiley, 124 A.D.2d 661).
