FOR PETITIONERS-APPELLANTS.

HISCOCK & BARCLAY, LLP, BUFFALO (NICHOLAS J. DICESARE OF COUNSEL), FOR
RESPONDENTS-RESPONDENTS.

     Appeal from a judgment (denominated order and judgment) of the
Supreme Court, Erie County (John A. Michalek, J.), entered August 22,
2011 in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78. The judgment, among
other things, dismissed the petition against respondents Town of
Hamburg, Town of Hamburg Town Board, Town of Hamburg Board of Zoning
Appeals and Kurt Allen, Enforcement Officer, Buildings Inspections and
Code Enforcement.

     It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is
unanimously affirmed without costs.

     Memorandum: Petitioners appeal from a judgment in this CPLR
article 78 proceeding that, inter alia, dismissed the petition against
respondents Town of Hamburg (Town), Town of Hamburg Town Board, Town
of Hamburg Board of Zoning Appeals and Kurt Allen, Enforcement
Officer, Buildings Inspections and Code Enforcement. All but one of
petitioners’ contentions herein were previously before us on their
appeal from the judgment that, inter alia, dismissed the petition in
this proceeding against respondents Lamar Advertising of Penn, LLC,
TLC Properties, Inc., Lamar Company, LLC and Lamar Texas Limited
Partnership. We affirm the judgment for the reasons stated in our
                                 -2-                           233
                                                         CA 11-01807

decision in Matter of Duchmann v Town of Hamburg (90 AD3d 1642), in
which we affirmed the judgment in that prior appeal.

     We add only that petitioners’ remaining contention that the Town
failed to provide “a certified transcript of the record of the
proceedings under consideration” pursuant to CPLR 7804 (e) is without
merit inasmuch as the Town “provided Supreme Court with sufficient
material necessary to render a decision in this matter” (Matter of
Argyle Conservation League v Town of Argyle, 223 AD2d 796, 798).
