Opinion:
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Edward Lehner, J.), entered February 8, 2000, which, in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 to vacate a determination of respondent New York City Police Department, dated June 3, 1999, denying petitioner's application for appointment as a special patrolman, dismissed the petition, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
