New York Court of Appeals May 16, 2000 (Bethel v. McGrath-McKechnie)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Smith, J.

The issue here is whether respondents were required to hold open petitioner’s previous permanent civil service position as a Contract Specialist in the New York City Community Development Agency while she completed her probationary period as a Staff Analyst, a title she obtained through an open competitive examination. We conclude that they were not.
