In a 10-minute hearing in Portland, Ore.,District Judge Dale Koch decided the Jeff Gillooly, ex-husband of figure skater Tonya Harding, can become Jeff Stone.

Gillooly, who was not at the hearing, is due for release Monday from a prison boot camp. He's served seven months for plotting the attack on Harding's skating rival Nancy Kerrigan.

``He would like to have some degree of anonymity and not be recognized as the individual involved in the attack,'' his attorney, Judy Snyder, said.

``We're hopeful that some years from now people will say, `You know, that guy looks familiar, but I can't remember who he is,''' Snyder said

New York City Police Commissioner William Bratton dismissed police officer Carol Shaya-Castro on Tuesday for posing nude in Playboy magazine's August 1994 issue. He said she had violated the city charter and the department's rules and thus was unfit to be a police officer.

``The reputation of the New York City Police Department is not for sale, and there is no room in our organization for anyone who would attempt to do so,'' he wrote in his ruling on the case. ``In my opinion, the proven misconduct in this case is directly contrary to the values that this department stands for.''

The commissioner's decision follows a three-day departmental disciplinary trial in January, in which Shaya-Castro was charged with 20 counts of misconduct stemming from the photographic layout, ``NYPD Nude/One of New York's Finest Steps Out of Uniform.'' The Police Department said she was paid $100,000 for posing.

Shaya-Castro, 26, joined the department in 1991 and was assigned to the 45th Precinct in the eastern Bronx in 1992.
