Determination confirmed and proceeding dismissed on the merits, without costs or disbursements.
The respondent's determination denying the petitioner's request to expunge the 1973 and 1977 reports of child abuse and maltreatment from the Central Register was proper. Social Services Law § 422 (5) requires that all identifying information in a report be expunged from the Central Register unless the investigation "determines that there is some credible evidence of the alleged abuse or maltreatment". In this case, sufficient evidence of maltreatment was presented at the hearing to sustain the respondent's decision not to expunge the reports from the Central Register (see, Matter of Ebanks v. Perales, 111 A.D.2d 331; Matter of Tammie Z., 105 A.D.2d 463, affd 66 N.Y.2d 1). Mangano, J.P., Gibbons, Lawrence and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
