OPINION OF THE COURT
Memorandum.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs, for the reasons stated in the memorandum of the Appellate Division except insofar as it discusses a right to a hearing because of injury to petitioner's reputation. Inasmuch as that issue was not raised in the petition, it need not be reached here (cf. Matter of Anonymous v Codd, 40 NY2d 860).
In addition, we note that the respondents' determination to disqualify petitioner was neither without factual basis nor was it arbitrary or capricious.
