Opinion
January 24, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Robert McDonald, J.).
The petition was properly denied on the ground that the preliminary parole revocation hearing timely scheduled for March 3, 1994 was adjourned for the legitimate reason that the Rikers Island Judicial Center was closed on that day due to a snowstorm (see, Matter of Emmick v. Enders, 107 A.D.2d 1066, 1067, appeal dismissed 65 N.Y.2d 1050). Furthermore, respondents acted "`energetically and scrupulously'" in rescheduling the hearing for March 8, when petitioner was unable to attend on the originally rescheduled day of March 7 (supra, at 1067).
Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Wallach, Kupferman and Ross, JJ.
