Parties, 405 N.E.2d 179 In the Matter of Raymond B. KERR, Respondent, v. Harvey WEISENBERG, as President of the City Council of the City of Long Beach, et al., Appellants.
Decision Date25 March 1980
CourtNew York Court of Appeals
OPINION OF THE COURT MEMORANDUM.

The judgment appealed from and the order of the Appellate Division brought up for our review should be affirmed, with costs, for the reasons stated in the memorandum at the Appellate Division, 65 A.D.2d 815, 410 N.Y.S.2d 351, to which we add only that relinquishment of rights conferred by section 81 of the Civil Service Law may result, on a sufficient demonstration, from an abandonment without the necessity of a written resignation. On this record, however, we agree with the court below that petitioner did not abandon his statutory rights.

COOKE, C. J., and JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and MEYER, JJ., concur.

Judgment appealed from and order of the Appellate Division brought up for review affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum.
