Opinion
February 27, 1992
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County [Stanley Sklar, J.].
Although the proceeding was improperly transferred to this court, we have examined the issues raised, and conclude that petitioner's trial admissions to an ongoing relationship with, and acceptance of a gratuity from, a tow truck operator regulated by respondent and his presence at the tow truck operator's shop for personal reasons while on duty, justified respondent's determination not to reappoint him to the police force.
