a party respondent. The State Human Rights Appeal Board is required to hear appeals by any party to any proceeding from all
orders of said Commissioner, provided such appeals are commenced by filing a notice of appeal with the board within 15 days
after service of such order (Executive Law, 297-a, subd. 6, par. c), but this court has no power to extend said time. Although
section 298 of the Executive Law provides that a respondent aggrieved by an order of the board may obtain judicial review
thereof, the court should not act until the administrative remedies provided by law have been exhausted (People ex rel. Uvalde

error for the hearing officer to prevent respondent Thomas [35 A.D.2d 652 Page 653]
