Opinion
July 12, 1991
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Erie County, Fudeman, J.
Present — Dillon, P.J., Boomer, Green, Balio and Lowery, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed with costs. Memorandum: We find that respondent's denial of petitioner's application for a real estate broker's license was mandated by law (Real Property Law § 440-a), and that, in the circumstances of this case, the protections of article 23-A of the Correction Law are unavailable to petitioner (see, Correction Law § 751; see generally, Matter of Sinclair v Division of Licensing of Dept. of State, 96 A.D.2d 1130, lv denied 60 N.Y.2d 559).
We have examined petitioner's other contention and find it to be without merit.
