Decided on December 30, 2014
SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE TERM, FIRST DEPARTMENT
PRESENT: Lowe, III, Schoenfeld, Hunter, Jr., JJ.
&em;

New York City Housing Authority, (Harlem River Houses), 570683/13 Petitioner-Respondent,

against

Nicole Lawtone-Bowles, Respondent-Appellant.

Respondent Nicole Lawtone-Bowles appeals from a final judgment of the Civil Court of the City of New York, New York County (David J. Kaplan, J.), entered April 16, 2013, after a nonjury trial, which awarded possession to petitioner in a holdover summary proceeding.

Per Curiam.

Final judgment (David J. Kaplan, J.), entered April 16, 2013, affirmed, without costs.

Civil Court properly issued a possessory judgment in favor of petitioner New York City Housing Authority, where the record shows that petitioner validly terminated appellant's public housing tenancy for nondesirability, appellant exhausted all administrative remedies, and her CPLR article 78 proceeding was dismissed (see New York City Hous. Auth. v McClinton, 184 Misc 2d 818 [2000]; New York City Hous. Auth. v Williams, 179 Misc 2d 822 [1999]).

Nor is there any merit to appellant's contention that petitioner revived the tenancy previously terminated (see Coleman v Dabrowski, 163 Misc 2d 763 [1994]).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.

I concur I concur I concur
