The IAS Court properly rejected petitioner's claim that she was denied due process at the fair hearing because an interpreter was not present for the entirety thereof. The record shows that petitioner did not request an interpreter until just before the conclusion of the hearing, did not utilize the interpreter's services to present any additional information, and displayed sufficient ability to understand and speak the English language ( see, People v. Ramos, 26 N.Y.2d 272). We have considered petitioner's additional arguments and find them to be without merit.
