DECISION & JUDGMENTProceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 to review a determination of the designee of the Commissioner of the respondent, the New York State Office of Children and Family Services, dated March 21, 2016, which, after a hearing, affirmed a determination of the New York State Office of Children and Family Services to revoke the petitioner's license to operate a group family day care home.
ADJUDGED that the determination dated March 21, 2016, is confirmed, the petition is denied, and the proceeding is dismissed on the merits, with costs.
Contrary to the petitioner's contention, the determination that she violated certain regulations, including regulations pertaining to the supervision of children in her group family day care home, is supported by substantial evidence in the record (see Matter of Faponnle v. New York State Off. of Children & Family Servs., 160 A.D.3d 950, 72 N.Y.S.3d 486 ; Matter of Liddell v. New York State Off. of Children & Family Servs., 117 A.D.3d 742, 984 N.Y.S.2d 874 ; Matter of Singleton v. New York State Off. of Children & Family Servs., 70 A.D.3d 706, 892 N.Y.S.2d 890 ). There is no basis to disturb the credibility determinations of the administrative law judge (see Matter of Malak v. State of New York, 116 A.D.3d 587, 985 N.Y.S.2d 5 ).
