2021To that end, it is well settled that the 30-day time frame set forth in 7 NYCRR 701.5 (d) (3) (ii) within which the Central Office Review Committee (hereinafter CORC) is required to issue a decision on an inmate's appeal is directory, not mandatory, and to avoid dismissal for the failure to exhaust administrative remedies, a petitioner must demonstrate substantial prejudice resulting from any delay beyond that time frame ( see Matter of Walker v Uhler , 185 AD3d 1363 , 1364 [2020]; Matter of Hendricks v Annucci , 179 AD3d 1232, 1233 [2020], lv denied 35 NY3d 913 [2020]; Matter of Golston v Dir

2021In our view, this holding ostensibly overrules our prior case law and runs afoul of the long-established standard requiring a showing by a petitioner of substantial prejudice before invoking the futility exception based upon administrative delay under these circumstances ( compare Matter of Walker v Uhler , 185 AD3d at 1364; Matter of Hendricks v Annucci , 179 AD3d at 1233 ; Matter of Golston v Director of Div. of Nutritional Servs. , 168 AD3d at 1300; Matter of Jones v Fischer , 110 AD3d at 1296).

Bankers Trust Corp. v. New York City Department of Finance green
ny · 2003
2 sentences

2013Citing Bankers Trust Corp. v New York City Dept, of Fin. ( 1 NY3d 315 [2003]), the court incorrectly held that the futility exception to the exhaustion of administrative remedies doctrine does not apply because FOIL establishes an exclusive remedy (Public Officers Law § 89 [4] [b]).

2013Accordingly, in the context of FOIL, a futility exception exists to “the judicially-created rule that administrative remedies must be exhausted” (Bankers Trust, 1 NY3d at 322 ) before judicial review may be obtained.
