IN THE MATTER OF BLANCHE WRIGHT, appellant, v. BRION D. TRAVIS, ETC., respondent.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.

The discretionary decisions of the New York State Board of Parole (hereinafter the Board), if made in accordance with the statutory factors, are not subject to judicial review (see, Matter of Heitman v. New York State Bd. of Parole, 214 A.D.2d 673; Matter of Macon v. New York State Bd. of Parole, 176 A.D.2d 880).

Here, the Board rendered its determination after considering the full record, including the petitioner's institutional and educational achievements and her release plans. The Board's determination that the petitioner's positive achievements were outweighed by the serious and repetitive nature of her crimes was within its discretion and is not subject to judicial review (see, Matter of Secilmic v. Keane, 225 A.D.2d 628; Matter of Carrion v. New York State Bd. of Parole, 210 A.D.2d 403; Gonzalez v. Rodriguez, 135 A.D.2d 633).

ALTMAN, J.P., KRAUSMAN, McGINITY and COZIER, JJ., concur.
