Opinion
November 26, 1984
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Leahy, J.).
Appeal from the order and judgment dated March 9, 1984 dismissed. That order and judgment was superseded by the order dated April 23, 1984, made upon reargument.
Order dated April 23, 1984, affirmed insofar as appealed from.
Defendants are awarded one bill of costs.
Special Term was correct in holding that the defendants, constituting the New York State Racing and Wagering Board, may, in the exercise of their discretion, choose to conduct a hearing on the question of the renewal of plaintiff's license as a jockey (see Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law, § 101, subds 1, 9; § 213, subds 1, 2; 9 N.Y.CRR part 4013; see Matter of Fink v Cole, 1 N.Y.2d 48).
The other contentions raised by plaintiff have been considered and are found to be without merit. Mollen, P.J., Titone, Thompson and Weinstein, JJ., concur.
