Opinion
June 10, 1997
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Stephen Crane, J.).
The petition was properly dismissed without a hearing on the ground that the determination of the State Department of Labor that petitioner did not commit misconduct disentitling him to unemployment insurance benefits has no collateral estoppel effect, and that petitioner's allegations of bad faith were otherwise conclusory ( Matter of Gault v. Abate, 210 A.D.2d 56, lv denied 85 N.Y.2d 803; Matter of Beacham v. Brown, 215 A.D.2d 334).
Concur — Wallach, J.P., Nardelli, Rubin, Tom and Andrias, JJ.
