Eliot Spitzer, Attorney-General, New York, N.Y. (Marion Buchbinder and David Lawrence III of counsel), for respondents.
Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., SONDRA MILLER, GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, HOWARD MILLER, JJ.
DECISION JUDGMENT
ADJUDGED that the determinations are confirmed, the petition is denied, and the proceeding is dismissed on the merits, with costs.
The determinations of the Superintendent of the New York State Police were supported by substantial evidence in the record (see 300 Gramatan Ave. Assoc. v. State Div. of Human Rights, 45 N.Y.2d 176; Corcoran v. City of Newburgh, 237 A.D.2d 518; Haddart v. McMahon, 232 A.D.2d 416; Costa v. McMahon, 225 A.D.2d 694).
The petitioners' remaining contentions are without merit.
RITTER, J.P., S. MILLER, GOLDSTEIN and H. MILLER, JJ., concur.
