Matter of Beninson v. Police Department

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Sep 24, 1991
176 A.D.2d 183 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

September 24, 1991

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County [Myriam Altman, J.].


On January 18, 1990, the petitioner's pistol license was revoked following a hearing. That determination was based upon evidence stemming from two arrests, as to which the charges were dismissed, as well as a reported traffic incident. Both the Hearing Officer and Police Commissioner stated that, because the petitioner displayed the firearm twice and became physically involved in at least one altercation, the petitioner's actions created doubt as to his ability to be entrusted with possession of the firearm. Contrary to petitioner's arguments, the evidence adduced was adequate to support the respondent Commissioner's determination. (Matter of Harris v. Codd, 57 A.D.2d 778, affd 44 N.Y.2d 978.)
