Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department.
Apr 5, 2001

Please sign up to view Important Paras.

Respondent's finding of nondesirability is supported by substantial evidence, including a police officer's testimony that upon executing a search warrant of petitioner's apartment, he recovered a bag containing heroin residue on petitioner's bedroom dresser along with a second bag, also found in petitioner's bedroom, containing 50 to 100 clear ziplock bags. No basis exists to disturb respondent's findings of credibility rejecting petitioner's testimony that she never brought illegal drugs into her apartment. The penalty of termination does not shock our sense of fairness (see, Matter of Walker v. Franco, 275 A.D.2d 627).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
