—Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court (Connor, J.), entered March 20, 2000 in Columbia County, which dismissed petitioner’s application, in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, to review a determination of the Board of Parole revoking petitioner’s parole.
Petitioner is presently serving a 15-year to life prison sentence upon a 1975 conviction for murder in the second degree.
We affirm. Petitioner’s guilty plea to the special condition involving motor vehicle use was sufficient to provide a rational basis for the finding of guilt as to the charged violation (see, Matter of Carney v New York State Div. of Parole, 244 AD2d 746). Contrary to petitioner’s argument, we find nothing improper in the imposition of the 10 special parole release conditions and we note that petitioner expressly agreed to be bound by them (see, 9 NYCRR 8003.1 [b], [c]; 8003.2 [l]). Finally, while it appears that petitioner has abandoned his claim that the 36-month hold is a harsh and excessive penalty, were this issue properly before us we would find it unpersuasive given petitioner’s demonstrated inability to successfully adjust to parole supervision (see, Matter of Bellamy v New York State Div. of Parole, 274 AD2d 871).
Petitioner’s remaining contentions have been reviewed and rejected as without merit or unsupported by the record.
Cardona, P. J., Mercure, Peters, Rose and Lahtinen, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.
. In 1979, petitioner received a one-year sentence for assault in the third degree and a 3V2 to 7-year sentence for promoting prison contraband in the first degree after he attacked another inmate with a homemade ice pick.
. Respondents concede that petitioner’s administrative remedies were deemed exhausted due to the failure of the Board of Parole’s Appeals Unit to rule on petitioner’s administrative appeal (see, Matter of Graham v New York State Div. of Parole, 269 AD2d 628, 629, lv denied 95 NY2d 753).
