In these applications pursuant to CPLR article 78 to challenge the termination of provisional or probationary employment, the courts properly denied and dismissed the proceedings herein. It is well settled that a provisional or probationary employee may be discharged for any or no reason at all in the absence of a showing that his or her dismissal was in bad faith, for a constitutionally impermissible purpose or in violation of law (see, Matter of Swinton v Safir, 93 NY2d 758, 762-763; Matter of Preddice v Callanan, 69 NY2d 812), and petitioners did not meet their burden of presenting competent proof that their dismissals had been in bad faith (see, Matter of Beacham v Brown, 215 AD2d 334, lv denied 87 NY2d 801; Matter of Thomas v Abate, 213 AD2d 251).

We have considered petitioners’ remaining arguments and find them to be unavailing. Concur — Mazzarelli, J. P., Andrias, Lerner, Saxe and Buckley, JJ.
