DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The arbitration award under review was not arbitrary, capricious, or irrational, and the Supreme Court was therefore correct in confirming it (see, CPLR 7511[b][1][iii]; Matter of Motor Vehicle Acc. Indem. Corp. v. Aetna Cas. Sur. Co., 89 N.Y.2d 214, 233; Board of Educ. of the Dover Union Free School Dist. v. Dover-Wingdale Teachers' Assn., 61 N.Y.2d 913, 915; Williams v. Hughes, 256 A.D.2d 461; Matter of Interboro Mut. Indem. Ins. Co. v. Motor Vehicle Acc. Indem. Corp., 251 A.D.2d 580; Matter of Hanover Ins. Co. v. State Farm Mut. Auto Ins. Co., 226 A.D.2d 533).
