Article 78 appeal to review determination terminating temporary employment dismissed
Stephen Russell v New York Citywide Administrative Services
This Article 78 case was brought about by Petitioner, Stephen Russel to challenge his termination and to review a determination of the New York City Transit Authority dated April 13, 1989. The New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) terminated petitioner’s temporary employment as a bridge and tunnel officer because he omitted information concerning a prior misdemeanor on his employment application. The Supreme Court found that DCAS’ decision to terminate the petitioner was not arbitrary and capricious, had a rational basis, and was not made in bad faith. Also, the statute of limitations bars this appeal from being granted.
Accordingly, the Supreme Court ordered the judgment affirmed.
