MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Petitioner is currently serving four indeterminate prison sentences of 25 years to life arising out of the shooting deaths of two police officers in 1969. Following two unsuccessful requests for parole release, petitioner again appeared before the Board of Parole for a parole release interview on July 28, 1998. Petitioner's latest application for parole release was again denied and, following an administrative appeal, the Board's decision was affirmed. Petitioner then commenced this CPLR article 78 proceeding challenging the determination. Supreme Court dismissed the petition and this appeal followed.
We affirm. Because the record discloses that the Board considered all relevant factors in denying petitioner's parole request, including the serious nature of his convictions as well as positive factors such as his improved institutional record and future employment plans, judicial review of the Board's determination is precluded (see, Executive Law § 259-i Exec. [5]; see also, Matter of Anthony v. New York State Div. of Parole, 252 A.D.2d 704,lv denied 92 N.Y.2d 812, cert denied 525 U.S. 1183).
Given this circumstance and the fact that petitioner has failed to demonstrate that the determination was affected by irrationality bordering on impropriety, we find no reason to disturb the Board's discretionary decision that parole release would not be appropriate at this time (see, Matter of Faison v. Travis, 260 A.D.2d 866, 867, appeal dismissed 93 N.Y.2d 1013).
We have examined petitioner's remaining contentions and find them to be unpersuasive under the circumstances.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
