IN RE: Eric BENSON (2020)

OPINION OF THE COURT

 MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, without costs.

Judicial intervention in Parole Board determinations is warranted “only when there is a showing of irrationality bordering on impropriety” (Matter of Silmon v. Travis, 95 N.Y.2d 470, 476, 718 N.Y.S.2d 704, 741 N.E.2d 501 [2000] [internal quotation marks omitted] ).  Petitioner failed to make such a showing here with regard to the Parole Board's determination to rescind his parole release.

Our decision in Matter of Costello v. New York State Bd. of Parole, 23 N.Y.3d 1002, 994 N.Y.S.2d 39, 18 N.E.3d 739 (2014) does not compel a contrary result.  Costello was decided “under the particular circumstances of [that] case,” which circumstances are distinguishable from the present case (id. at 1004, 994 N.Y.S.2d 39, 18 N.E.3d 739).

On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules, order affirmed, without costs, in a memorandum.

Chief Judge DiFiore and Judges Stein, Fahey, Garcia and Feinman concur.  Judges Rivera and Wilson dissent for reasons stated in the dissenting opinion of Presiding Justice Elizabeth A. Garry at the Appellate Division (see Matter of Benson v. New York State Board of Parole, 176 A.D.3d 1548, 1553–1555, 113 N.Y.S.3d 318 [3rd Dept. 2019] [Garry, P.J. dissenting] ).
