Matter of Fortuna v. Coughlin

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 18, 1995
222 A.D.2d 588 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

December 18, 1995


Adjudged that the determination is confirmed and the proceeding is dismissed on the merits, without costs or disbursements.

Contrary to the petitioner's contentions, there was substantial evidence in the record supporting the Commissioner's determination ( see, Matter of Abdur-Raheem v Mann, 85 N.Y.2d 113, 118; People ex rel. Vega v Smith, 66 N.Y.2d 130; Matter of Vargas v Strack, 220 A.D.2d 675; Matter of Oro v Keane, 211 A.D.2d 796). Further, the penalties imposed were not so disproportionate to the offense as to be shocking to one's sense of fairness ( see, Matter of Pell v Board of Educ., 34 N.Y.2d 222, 233).

The petitioner's remaining contentions are lacking in merit. Mangano, P.J., Bracken, Sullivan and Hart, JJ., concur.
