People ex Rel. Lahey v. Woodbury

2 Citing cases

  1. Matter of Stevenson v. Harvey

    228 App. Div. 707 (N.Y. App. Div. 1930)

    The act of the borough president in removing him, however, was not judicial, and certiorari was not the proper remedy. ( People ex rel. Kennedy v. Brady, 166 N.Y. 44; People ex rel. Lahey v. Woodbury, 112 App. Div. 79.) The petitioner was not a member of the street cleaning department, as he claims, and was not entitled to the benefits of sections 536 and 537 of the charter. The street cleaning department has no jurisdiction in the borough of Queens.

  2. People ex Rel. Picceola v. Woodbury

    114 App. Div. 188 (N.Y. App. Div. 1906)

    This he had, and the act of the commissioner in removing him was not a judicial act in any sense, for which reason it cannot be reviewed in the manner here sought. ( People ex rel. Kennedy v. Brady, 166 N.Y. 44; People ex rel. Lahey v. Woodbury, 112 App. Div. 79; 98 N.Y. Supp. 142.) It follows, therefore, that the writ should be dismissed with fifty dollars costs and disbursements, and the action of the commissioner in dismissing the relator sustained.
