—Determination of respondent Police Commissioner, dated October 20, 1995, unanimously confirmed, the petition denied, and the proceeding brought pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to this Court by order of the Supreme Court, New York County [Jane Solomon, J.], entered September 4, 1996), dismissed, without costs.
