Matter of Toplitz v. Adduci

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jun 19, 1990
162 A.D.2d 271 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

June 19, 1990

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Harold Baer, Jr., J.).


Our review of the record reveals that there was substantial evidence to support the finding that on September 16, 1988, at approximately 8:00 A.M., petitioner, while driving a Lincoln, failed to stop for a red light at the intersection of 12th Avenue and 29th Street in Manhattan. As such, the determination should not be disturbed. (300 Gramatan Ave. Assocs. v. State Div. of Human Rights, 45 N.Y.2d 176, 179.) The minor discrepancies concerning the color of the vehicle (cf., Matter of Reape v Adduci, 151 A.D.2d 290) and the time that elapsed between the officer's first observation of the vehicle and the issuance of the traffic summons are insufficient to overcome the great weight that is accorded to the Administrative Law Judge's findings. (See, Matter of Simpson v. Wolansky, 38 N.Y.2d 391, 394.)
