Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 29, 2001
287 A.D.2d 723 (N.Y. App. Div. 2001)

Opinion

Submitted October 2, 2001.

October 29, 2001.

In a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, inter alia, to review a determination of the Westchester County Personnel Office, dated March 14, 2000, which removed the petitioner from the police officer civil service eligible list, the petitioner appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Barone, J.), entered December 6, 2000, which denied the petition and dismissed the proceeding.

Michael Ryff, Yonkers, N.Y., appellant pro se.

Charlene M. Indelicato, County Attorney, White Plains, N Y (Stacey Dolgin-Kmetz and Barbara Lubin Harmatz of counsel), for respondents.

Before: GABRIEL M. KRAUSMAN, J.P., LEO F. McGINITY, HOWARD MILLER, NANCY E. SMITH, JJ.


ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

The Supreme Court properly denied the petitioner's request for copies of reports concerning the investigation which resulted in his previous termination from his position as a probationary police officer for the Westchester County Department of Public Safety (see, Matter of Grossman v. McMahon, 261 A.D.2d 54). Moreover, judicial intervention is not warranted. The determination to remove the petitioner's name from the police officer civil service eligible list after affording him an opportunity to submit written opposition to the disqualification pursuant to Civil Service Law — 50(4)(e) was neither irrational nor arbitrary (see, Matter of Needleman v. County of Rockland, 270 A.D.2d 423; Matter of Ressa v. County of Nassau, 224 A.D.2d 534; Matter of Metzger v. Nassau County Civ. Serv. Comm., 54 A.D.2d 565).

KRAUSMAN, J.P., McGINITY, H. MILLER and SMITH, JJ., concur.
