Parties, 379 N.E.2d 165 In the Matter of NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF PERSONNEL, Respondent, v. New York STATE DIVISION OF HUMAN RIGHTS, Appellant.
Decision Date08 June 1978
CourtNew York Court of Appeals Court of Appeals
Elaine R. Berger and Ann Thacher Anderson, New York City, for appellant.
OPINION OF THE COURT MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs. Complainant did not file her complaint until after the list of eligibles from which she seeks appointment had expired. Hence, even though she might have been improperly passed over for appointment due to discrimination on the basis of age, she may not now seek appointment from that expired list (Matter of Cash v. Bates, 301 N.Y. 258, 261, 93 N.E.2d 835, 836; Matter of Tanzosh v. New York City Civ. Serv. Comm., 44 N.Y.2d 906, 407 N.Y.S.2d 638, 379 N.E.2d 166 decided herewith). This case is to be distinguished from one in which a proceeding to compel appointment is commenced prior to the expiration of the list (see Matter of Mena v. D'Ambrose, 44 N.Y.2d 428, 406 N.Y.S.2d 22, 377 N.E.2d 466).

BREITEL, C. J., and JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and COOKE, JJ., concur in memorandum.

Order affirmed.
