In the Matter of KENYAITTA B. FOREMAN, Appellant, v. GLENN GOORD, as Commissioner of Correctional Ser

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Petitioner commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging a determination finding him guilty of violating certain prison disciplinary rules. Supreme Court determined that there was an insufficient basis in the record for the Hearing Officer to determine that petitioner knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to be present at the hearing. The court therefore granted the petition to the extent that the determination was annulled and directed respondents to expunge all reference to the proceeding from petitioner's institutional record. Because Supreme Court failed to specifically address petitioner's remaining requests for relief, this appeal ensued.

We note that inasmuch as petitioner is no longer aggrieved by the disciplinary determination (see CPLR 5511; Parachial Bus Sys. v. Board of Educ. of City of N.Y., 60 N.Y.2d 539), his appeal is limited to those requests for relief not addressed by Supreme Court. To the extent that petitioner seeks to be reinstated to a former prison job held prior to the subject disciplinary violation, "a prisoner has no constitutional, statutory or precedential right to * * * a particular job" (Matter of Thomas v. Selsky, 286 A.D.2d 535, 535; see Matter of Sabo v. Racette, 124 A.D.2d 920, 921). Next, petitioner seeks review of "any and all grievances." Petitioner's failure to specify such grievances or indicate whether he has exhausted his administrative remedies precludes judicial review thereof (see Matter of Jarvis v. Pullman, 297 A.D.2d 842). Petitioner's remaining contentions, having been raised for the first time on appeal, are not preserved for our review.

Cardona, P.J., Crew III, Spain, Rose and Kane, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
