Head Matter:
In the Matter of Arthur T. Davidson, Appellant, v Donald F. Tapley, as Dean of the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, et al., Respondents.

Opinion:
In a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 to compel respondents to assign petitioner "to Attending Surgical Duties at Harlem Hospital Center", petitioner appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County, entered June 30, 1976, which dismissed the petition for failure to state a cause of action. Judgment affirmed, without costs or disbursements. Special Term properly ruled that the "petition fails to state a cause of action in that it does not allege any legal wrong". Martuscello, J. P., Latham, Shapiro and O'Connor, JJ., concur.
