Opinion
Argued May 10, 2001.
June 18, 2001.
In a proceeding pursuant to CPLR 7511 to vacate an arbitration award, the petitioner appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Donovan, J.), dated August 4, 2000, which, inter alia, denied the petition and dismissed the proceeding.
Joseph A. Maria, P.C., White Plains, N.Y. (Andrew W. Bilinski on the brief), for appellant.
Rains Pogrebin, P.C., Mineola, N.Y. (David M. Wirtz and Julie A. Torrey of counsel), for respondents.
Before: GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, J.P., LEO F. McGINITY, ROBERT W. SCHMIDT, NANCY E. SMITH, JJ.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
Since the petitioner was not a party to either the collective bargaining agreement or the arbitration, he lacks standing to seek vacatur of the arbitrator's award (see, CPLR 7511; Matter of Wilson v. Board of Educ. of City of N.Y., 261 A.D.2d 409; Matter of Alava v. Consolidated Edison Co. of N.Y., 183 A.D.2d 713).
The petitioner's remaining contentions are without merit.
GOLDSTEIN, J.P., McGINITY, SCHMIDT and SMITH, JJ., concur.
