In re Adel

2 Citing cases

  1. Matter Farm Dairies v. Barber

    103 A.D.2d 11 (N.Y. App. Div. 1984)   Cited 2 times
    In Barber, the Court of Appeals of New York addressed whether full faith and credit mandated recognition, in a New York administrative proceeding, of a condition contained in a New Jersey criminal judgment which provided that the judgment could not be used as evidence in any pending or future civil proceeding.

    As an admission, Farmland's guilty plea was also probative evidence of its criminal conduct ( People v. Compton, 38 A.D.2d 788; Quay v. Hertz Corp., 29 A.D.2d 713). In New York delicensure matters, even a foreign conviction based upon a plea of nolo contendere is evidence of the underlying misconduct ( Matter of Adel, 41 A.D.2d 509, 510). In view of Fair Lawn's officer's testimony that it is the "family" of Farmland companies that seeks to do business in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, the commissioner was also fully justified in equating Farmland's prior misconduct with that of Fair Lawn, its wholly owned subsidiary.

  2. State Dental C. Ex. Bd. v. Friedman

    27 Pa. Commw. 546 (Pa. Cmmw. Ct. 1976)   Cited 23 times
    In State Dental Council and Examining Board v. Freidman, 27 Pa. Commw. 546, 367 A.2d 363 (1976), we held that a plea of nolo contendere to mail fraud was admissible in a license suspension case before the Dental Board.

    Concomitantly, we hold that the order of the Board, based on a plea of nolo contendere, was based on substantial evidence. See Adel v. Bar Ass'n of Erie County, 41 App. Div. 2d 509, 344 N.Y.S.2d 110 (1973); see also Maryland State Bar Ass'n, Inc. v. Agnew, 271 Md. 543, 318 A.2d 811 (1974). We also find Friedman's other contentions to be without merit.
