Matter of Wagschal v. Board of Examiners

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Dec 18, 1986
69 N.Y.2d 672 (N.Y. 1986)

Opinion

Decided December 18, 1986

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department, Gerald Adler, J.

Donald Congress and James R. Sandner for appellant.

Frederick A.O. Schwarz, Jr., Corporation Counsel (Stephen J. McGrath of counsel), for respondent.


MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.

As stated in the Per Curiam opinion of the Appellate Division, petitioner has not established that respondent's denial of her application for a permanent school psychologist license lacked a rational basis. Accordingly, the lower courts properly refused to substitute their judgment for those of public officials in charge of the educational system (see, Morley v Arricale, 66 N.Y.2d 665, 666-667; Matter of Pell v Board of Educ., 34 N.Y.2d 222).

We find no merit in petitioner's contention that she was arbitrarily deprived of an opportunity to qualify for a license under temporarily amended Chancellor's regulation C-286 because of respondent's purported delay in informing her of the denial of her license.

Chief Judge WACHTLER and Judges MEYER, SIMONS, KAYE, ALEXANDER, TITONE and HANCOCK, JR., concur.

On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.4 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 N.Y.CRR 500.4), order affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum.
