1Opinion of the CourtKavanagh, J.
Petitioner, proceeding pro se, served respondent with an unverified petition on February 1, 2010 seeking to, among other things, compel respondent to comply with his requests under the Freedom of Information Law (see Public Officers Law art 6 [hereinafter FOIL]). On February 12, 2010, respondent answered and sought dismissal of the petition on the ground that the petition was not verified (see CPLR 7804 [d]) and, in the alternative, that it had appropriately complied with petitioner’s FOIL requests. Supreme Court dismissed the petition because it was not verified and this appeal ensued.
