IN THE MATTER OF DANIEL LYNCH, APPELLANT, v. GLENN S. GOORD, AS COMMISSIONER OF THE NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONAL SERVICES, RESPONDENT.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Petitioner commenced this proceeding challenging a determination withholding one year of good-time credit based upon a tier III disciplinary hearing. Supreme Court granted respondent's motion to dismiss the proceeding as untimely commenced (see, CPLR 217) and this appeal ensued. Our review of the record reveals that petitioner's proposed order to show cause and supporting papers were not received by the clerk of the court until after the four-month Statute of Limitations period expired and, thus, were "not timely filed even under the procedure for commencement of actions and proceedings by indigent prison inmates established in CPLR 1101 (f)" (Matter of Grant v. Senkowski, 95 N.Y.2d 605, 610). Accordingly, we find that the proceeding was properly dismissed as time barred.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
