Claudio v. Abate (213 A.D.2d 188, 1995)

—Judgment (denominated an order), Supreme Court, New York County (Stuart Cohen, J.), entered January 5, 1994, which denied petitioner’s CPLR article 78 petition seeking reinstatement as a probationary employee with retroactive pay to the time of his termination, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Respondent’s decision to terminate petitioner’s employment as a probationary employee two days before his probationary period expired is not subject to annulment by the court, petitioner having failed to demonstrate the determination was made in bad faith, for a constitutionally impermissible purpose or in violation of statutory or decisional law (Thomas v City of New York, 169 AD2d 496). Indeed, we agree with the IAS Court that the record demonstrated a material basis for respondent’s conclusion that petitioner filed a false report concerning an incident involving excessive force by a fellow correction officer upon an inmate.
