Alford v. City of New York

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
May 13, 1986
67 N.Y.2d 1019 (N.Y. 1986)

Opinion

Decided May 13, 1986

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department, Martin B. Stecher, J.

Stephen C. Glasser for appellants.

Frederick A.O. Schwarz, Jr., Corporation Counsel (Kristin M. Helmers of counsel), for respondents.



On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.4 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 N.Y.CRR 500.4), appeal by claimants Cronley, Wilhelm, Panzarino and Campbell dismissed, without costs, upon the ground that said claimants are not aggrieved by the modification at the Appellate Division (former CPLR 5601 [a] [iii]) and no appeal lies as of right by said claimants from the unanimous order of the Appellate Division absent the direct involvement of a substantial constitutional question. On the appeal by the remaining claimants-appellants, order affirmed, with costs, for the reasons stated in the memorandum at the Appellate Division ( 115 A.D.2d 420). We add that claimants have not set forth any special circumstances warranting deviation from the provisions of General Municipal Law § 50-h. There is nothing in the record to support claimants' allegations that the scheduling of the required examinations pursuant to General Municipal Law § 50-h was purposely delayed by respondents.

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