Judgment affirmed, without costs. No opinion. Hopkins, Acting P. J., Munder, Shapiro and Brennan, JJ., concur; Benjamin, J. dissents and votes to reverse and remand for a determination on the merits, with the following memorandum: In my opinion, the four-month Statute of Limitations applicable to this proceeding did not begin to run until February 21, 1970, when petitioner received the summary statement of the reasons for denial of his administrative appeal. Accordingly, the commencement of this proceeding on June 16, 1970 was timely.
