MEMORANDUM DECISION. *528 Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County, entered

August 5, 1975, dismissing the petition, unanimously affirmed without costs or disbursements.

This Article 78 proceeding was instituted to review and annul a determination of the Office of Collective Bargaining, which was dated July 22, 1974 and served on petitioner on July 24, 1974. Petitioner sought reconsideration on August 5, 1974, which was denied September 16, 1974 and was served on petitioner on September 23, 1974. The petition in the instant proceeding was served on January 10, 1975.

Review of a determination such as in the case at bar must be sought within 30 days ( Civil Service Law, s 213), which time limitation is applicable to proceedings before the Office of Collective Bargaining (Civil Service Law, s 212). [1] This proceeding, having been brought more than 30 *529 days after the determination sought to be reviewed, is therefore time-barred.

[2] We note parenthetically that even absent the bar of Civil Service Law, s 213, we would dismiss this proceeding as untimely. The determination of this matter

became final and binding within the definition of CPLR 217 on July 24, 1974, the date petitioner was served with the decision of the Office of Collective Bargaining. The statute of limitations was not extended by petitioner's request for rehearing (Matter of Davis v. Kingsbury, 30 A.D.2d 944, 945, 293 N.Y.S.2d 997, 998, Aff'd 27 N.Y.2d 567, 313 N.Y.S.2d 390, 261 N.E.2d 393; Matter of Williamson v. Fermoile, 31
