N.Y. C.P.L.R. 7806

§ 7806. Judgment. The judgment may grant the petitioner the relief to\nwhich he is entitled, or may dismiss the proceeding either on the merits\nor with leave to renew. If the proceeding was brought to review a\ndetermination, the judgment may annul or confirm the determination in\nwhole or in part, or modify it, and may direct or prohibit specified\naction by the respondent. Any restitution or damages granted to the\npetitioner must be incidental to the primary relief sought by the\npetitioner, and must be such as he might otherwise recover on the same\nset of facts in a separate action or proceeding suable in the supreme\ncourt against the same body or officer in its or his official capacity.\n
