In the Matter of James Alexander v. Irma V. Santaella, as Chairperson of the State Human Rights Appeal Board
Proceeding pursuant to section 298 of the Executive Law to review an order of the respondent State Human Rights Appeal Board, dated April 23, 1980, which affirmed a determination of the respondent State Division of Human Rights dismissing the complaint of the petitioner upon a finding of no probable cause.
