April Laws filed a pre-answer motion to dismiss an Article 78 proceeding and successfully obtained complete dismissal. Petitioner, a former New York State certified Police Officer, challenged the determination by the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (“DCJS”) to invalidate his basic training certificate, based upon mandatory submissions provided by the Chief of Police to the DCJS, as required pursuant to NYCRR § 6056. The Supreme Court, Schenectady County, granted Attorney Laws’ motion in its entirety and dismissed the action before further proceedings. Petitioner is currently appealing the lower court’s Decision and Order to the Appellate Division, Third Department.
