October 21, 197537 N.Y.2d 526
Summary
The Court of Appeals held that section 61 of the Civil Service Law, which allows a commission to appoint one of the three highest‑ranking candidates, does not violate Section 6 of Article V of the New York Constitution and that the petitioner had no constitutionally protected right to be appointed. Accordingly, the lower court's judgment was affirmed.
