Opinion
Argued February 9, 1979
Decided March 27, 1979
Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department, BERNARD F. McCAFFREY, J.
Edward G. McCabe, County Attorney (Joshua A. Elkin of counsel), for appellant.
Stephen Kressel and Benjamin Weinstock for respondent.
MEMORANDUM.
The order of the Appellate Division should be reversed, with costs, and the petition dismissed for the reasons set forth in the dissenting memorandum of Mr. Justice M. HENRY MARTUSCELLO at the Appellate Division. In addition we would note that the policy against using — for qualification or credit — experience attained in violation of the Civil Service Law is so strong that even if the test announcement had specifically stated that such experience would be acceptable, the commission would not have been justified in approving it (Matter of Camfield v Mealy, 288 N.Y. 149).
Chief Judge COOKE and Judges JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER and FUCHSBERG concur.
Order reversed, with costs, and the petition dismissed in a memorandum.
