OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum.

Order affirmed, with costs. It cannot be said that the Appellate Division abused its discretion in refusing to grant declaratory relief in this case (Bower & Gardner v Evans, 60 NY2d 781). Generally, a declaratory judgment action is not the proper vehicle to challenge an administrative procedure, where judicial review by way of article 78 proceeding is available.

Chief Judge Cooke and Judges Jasen, Jones, Wacht-ler, Meyer, Simons and Kaye concur.

Order affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum.
