We affirm the dismissal of petitioner’s application for the reasons set forth by Special Term, and note that respondents’ classification works no denial of equal protection for it insures that all holders of the degree of Doctor of Law, both prospectively and retroactively, will have obtained the same educational experience before commencing the study of law. Judgment affirmed, without costs. Greenblott, J. P., Sweeney, Kane, Larkin and Reynolds, JJ., concur.
