Matter of Arken v. New York City Dept. of Fin.

127 A.D.3d 853, 4 N.Y.S.3d 904

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided April 8, 2015·No. 2013-08076·Published

Opinion

Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 to review a determination of the City of New York, Department of Finance, Parking Violations Adjudication Division, dated October 10, 2012, affirming a determination of an Administrative Law Judge dated June 20, 2012, which, after a hearing, inter alia, reinstated two previously dismissed parking violations, and imposed a penalty.

Adjudged that the determination is confirmed, the petition is denied, and the proceeding is dismissed on the merits, with costs.

“To annul an administrative determination made after a hearing directed by law at which evidence is taken, a court must conclude that the record lacks substantial evidence to support the determination” (Matter of Mannino v Department of Motor Vehs. of State of N.Y.-Traffic Violations Div., 101 AD3d 880, 880 [2012]; see Matter of Kelly v Safir, 96 NY2d 32, 38 *854 [2001]; Matter of Pell v Board of Educ. of Union Free School Dist. No. 1 of Towns of Scarsdale & Mamaroneck, Westchester County, 34 NY2d 222, 231 [1974]). Contrary to the petitioner’s contention, there is substantial evidence in the record to support the determination under review (see Matter of Peterson v State of N.Y. Dept. of Motor Vehs., 90 AD3d 1055 [2011]; 19 RCNY 39-10 [j]). Accordingly, the determination must be confirmed, the petition denied, and the proceeding dismissed.

The petitioner’s remaining contentions are without merit.

Rivera, J.R, Sgroi, Maltese and LaSalle, JJ., concur.
