In the Matter of LINDA AMNAWAH, appellant, v. BOARD OF EDUCATION OF CITY OF NEW YORK, respondent.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the order and judgment is affirmed, with costs.

Since the petitioner was a non-tenured, interim-acting employee, the respondent could terminate her employment without any statement of reasons, provided that the termination was not in bad faith ( see, Matter of Green v. Board of Educ., 262 A.D.2d 411 [2d Dept., June 7, 1999]; Matter of Ianuzzi v. Town of Brookhaven, 258 A.D.2d 651). The petitioner bears the burden of proving that the termination of her employment was for impermissible reasons ( see, Matter of Green v. Board of Educ., supra; Matter of Ianuzzi v. Town of Brookhaven, supra). The petitioner proffered only conclusory, unsupported, and irrelevant arguments and thus failed to sustain her evidentiary burden ( see, Matter of Green v. Board of Educ., supra; Matter of Williams v. Commissioner of Office of Mental Health, 259 A.D.2d 623 [2d Dept., Mar. 15, 1999]; Matter of Leskow v. Office of Ct. Admin., 248 A.D.2d 1004).

The petitioner's remaining contentions are without merit.

BRACKEN, J.P., S. MILLER, THOMPSON, and FRIEDMANN, JJ., concur.
