Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Frank P. Nervo, J.), entered November 15, 2022, which, to the extent appealed from as limited by the briefs, granted in part the petition in this hybrid CPLR article 78 proceeding and declared petitioner tenured by estoppel, unanimously reversed, on the law, without costs, the petition denied, and the proceeding brought pursuant to CPLR article 78 dismissed.
This CPLR article 78 proceeding was time barred as it was commenced more than four months after the New York City Department of Education's (DOE) determination (see CPLR 217 [1], Matter of Triana v Board of Educ. of City School Dist. of City of N.Y., 47 AD3d 554, 558 [1st Dept 2008]). DOE's cross motion to dismiss on statute of limitations grounds should have been granted.
