Case #511516


In the Matter of A. DENNIS GARDNER,

Petitioner,
v
COXSACKIE-ATHENS CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION,

Respondent.


DECISION AND ORDER
ON MOTION

Motion to confirm that the order appealed from constitutes an order appealable as of right or, in the alternative, for permission to appeal and direct that the appeal be heard together with the issues raised after transfer of the proceeding.

Supreme Court denied respondent's motion to dismiss and directed that the matter be transferred to the Appellate Division, Third Department, under a separate transfer order to review the issue of whether the administrative determination being challenged was supported by substantial evidence. The order of transfer brings up for review not only the issue of substantial evidence but also the nonfinal order denying the motion to dismiss (see CPLR 7804 [g]; Matter of Board of Educ. of Union-Endicott Cent. School Dist. v New York State Pub. Empl. Relations Bd., 250 AD2d 996 [1998]; Matter of Schultz v Roberts, 138 AD2d 980 [1988]; Matter of Desmone v Blum, 99 AD2d 170 [1984]).

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the papers filed in opposition thereto, it is

ORDERED that the motion to confirm that the order appealed from constitutes an order appealable as of right is denied, without costs, and it is further

ORDERED that the motion for permission to appeal is referred to Justice Peters, who makes the following decision: Motion denied, without costs, as unnecessary. It is further

ORDERED that the motion to direct that the appeal be heard together with the issues raised after the transfer of the proceeding is denied, without costs, as unnecessary.
PETERS, J.P., ROSE, MALONE JR., STEIN and EGAN JR., JJ., concur.
