Matter of Kandekore v. Commr. of Motor Vehicles

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 25, 1996
225 A.D.2d 774 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

March 25, 1996


Adjudged that the determination is confirmed and the proceeding is dismissed on the merits, with costs.

The Commissioner's determination that the petitioner refused to consent to a chemical test to determine the alcoholic content of his blood after being clearly warned of the consequences of such a refusal is supported by substantial evidence ( see, 300 Gramatan Ave. Assocs. v State Div. of Human Rights, 45 N.Y.2d 176, 180). The conflict between the testimony of the police witnesses and the petitioner presented an issue of credibility for the Administrative Law Judge to resolve, and where, as here, room for choice exists, a reviewing court may not weigh the evidence or reject the choice made by the agency ( see, Matter of Holland v Commissioner of N.Y. State Dept. of Motor Vehicles, 213 A.D.2d 637; Matter of Liuzzo v State of N.Y. Dept. of Motor Vehicles Appeals Bd., 209 A.D.2d 618; Matter of Gatto v Adduci, 182 A.D.2d 760).

The petitioner's remaining contentions are without merit. Balletta, J.P., Sullivan, Joy and Krausman, JJ., concur.
