Dale v. Safir

283 A.D.2d 248, 728 N.Y.S.2d 125, 2001 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 5081

Opinion

—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Diane Lebedeff, J.), entered June 26, 2000, which denied petitioner’s application to annul respondent Police Commissioner’s denial of petitioner’s application for a premises pistol license with target endorsement, and dismissed the petition, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

We hold that there is a rational relationship between petitioner’s 1993 acts of public lewdness at the age of 31, resulting in two arrests, a conviction and an order of protection, and the “good moral character” required by Penal Law § 400.00 (1) (b) for issuance of the target pistol license that petitioner seeks (cf., Matter of Hines v Kelly, 222 AD2d 277, lv denied 87 NY2d 810).
