Opinion
Submitted September 25, 1967
Decided October 26, 1967
Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department, EDWIN R. LYNDE, J.
Robert J. Glasser for appellant.
Howard E. Levitt, Town Attorney ( Robert M. Foley of counsel), for respondent.
Order affirmed, without costs. It must be noted, however, that the Appellate Division should have reversed solely on the law. An appeal from a determination of an administrative agency made after a hearing at which some evidence has been taken raises the single issue of whether the findings are, on the entire record, supported by substantial evidence. The Appellate Division, lacking power to find new facts, may not reverse on the facts. (CPLR 7803; see Matter of Weinstein v. Board of Regents, 292 N.Y. 682; Matter of Kilgus v. Board of Estimate of City of N.Y., 308 N.Y. 620.)
Concur: Chief Judge FULD and Judges VAN VOORHIS, BURKE, SCILEPPI, BERGAN, KEATING and BREITEL.
