Opinion
June, 1933.
Order denying motion to dismiss the complaint for insufficiency affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, with leave to defendant to answer within ten days from the entry of the order herein. The hearing before the division of licenses was not a judicial proceeding and the charges, therefore, were not protected by an absolute privilege. They may, however, have a qualified privilege. Lazansky, P.J., Kapper, Hagarty, Carswell and Tompkins, JJ., concur.
