Matter of Grant v. Temporary Release Comm

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 21, 1994
209 A.D.2d 617 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

November 21, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Dutchess County (Jiudice, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

Participation in a temporary release program is a privilege (see, Correction Law § 855), and the scope of judicial review is limited to whether the Temporary Release Committee violated any statutory requirement or whether its determination was affected by irrationality, bordering on impropriety (see, Matter of Young v. Temporary Release Comm., 122 A.D.2d 606).

The petitioner has failed to establish that either condition exists in this case. Sullivan, J.P., Rosenblatt, Altman, Hart and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
