Head Matter:
In the Matter of James Windsor, Petitioner, v John P. Finnerty, as Sheriff of the County of Suffolk, et al., Respondents.

Opinion:
Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, inter alia, to review a determination of the respondent Sheriff of Suffolk County, dated April 28, 1978, which suspended petitioner without pay from his position as a Deputy Sheriff for a period not to exceed 30 days.

There was substantial evidence to support the determination, and the punishment was not inappropriate (see Matter of Pell v Board of Educ., 34 NY2d 222). Lazer, J.
