Decision Date27 February 2007
Docket Number2005-09353.
Citation2007 NY Slip Op 01681,37 A.D.3d 760,829 N.Y.S.2d 906
PartiesHARLAN FRANKEL, Appellant, v. YESHIVA UNIVERSITY, Respondent.
CourtNew York Supreme Court — Appellate Division

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The Supreme Court correctly determined that the plaintiff's challenge to his termination from the defendant's clinical psychology program for academic deficiencies should have been brought in the context of a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 (see Maas v Cornell Univ., 94 NY2d 87, 92-93 [1999]; Diehl v St. John Fisher Coll., 278 AD2d 816 [2000]; Klinge v Ithaca Coll., 244 AD2d 611 [1997]; see also Matter of Lusardi v State Univ. of N.Y. at Buffalo, 284 AD2d 992 [2001]; Matter of McDermott v New York Med. Coll., 228 AD2d 967 [1996]; Aranoff v Fordham Univ., 171 AD2d 434 [1991]). Since the plaintiff's action was commenced nearly six years after he was terminated from the subject program, it was properly dismissed as untimely (see CPLR 217 [1]; Diehl v St. John Fisher Coll., supra; Aranoff v Fordham Univ., supra).

The plaintiff's remaining contentions are without merit.

Miller, J.P., Spolzino, Ritter and Lifson, JJ., concur.
