Katsoris v. Police Department

224 A.D.2d 331, 638 N.Y.S.2d 306, 1996 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 1272

Opinion

—Determination of respondent New York City Police Department cancelling petitioner’s pistol license and rifle/shotgun permit, unanimously confirmed, the petition denied and the proceeding brought pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to this Court by order of the Supreme Court, New York County [Kristin Booth Glen, J.], entered March 28, 1995) is dismissed, without costs.

Substantial evidence supports the determination that petitioner’s pistol license and rifle/shotgun permit be revoked (see, Waskiewicz v New York City Police Dept., 211 AD2d 603). We decline to disturb the administrative determination as to the credibility of witnesses appearing before the Hearing Officer (see, Sewell v City of New York, 182 AD2d 469, 473, lv denied 80 NY2d 756). Concur — Milonas, J. P., Wallach, Ross and Mazzarelli, JJ.
