OPINION OF THE COURT
On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.4 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 NYCRR 500.4), order affirmed, without costs. Petitioner has failed to show any statutory, regulatory or precedential right to his prison job. Accordingly, no proceeding lies for its termination in the absence of proof of denial of constitutional right or statutory violation.
Concur: Chief Judge Cooke and Judges Jasen, Jones, Wachtler, Meyer, Simons and Kaye.
