In the Matter of Clint Bynoe, Appellant, v City of New York et al., Respondents.
[722 NYS2d 517]

—Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Robert Lippmann, J.), entered February 2, 2000, which denied petitioner’s application to annul respondent’s determination terminating petitioner’s provisional employment, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Petitioner’s evidence that over the course of his year-and-a half provisional employment he received only one performance evaluation six months after his appointment, which was favorable, does not satisfy his burden of showing that his termination was in bad faith or arbitrary and capricious (see, Matter of Romero v Joseph, 169 AD2d 544 ). There is evidence of petitioner’s substandard performance as well (see, Matter of Atkinson v Koch, 161 AD2d 152 , 153-154), and no evidence that respondent was required to give him periodic performance evaluations. Concur — Nardelli, J. P., Andrias, Wallach, Lerner and Rubin, JJ.
