Opinion

Respondent’s issuance of subpoenas in connection with an investigation into complaints from consumers and publishers alleging fraudulent and deceptive practices in petitioner magazine subscription agents’ issuance of notices for the renewal of magazine subscriptions was within his broad authority (see Executive Law § 63 [12]; General Business Law § 349; Matter of American Dental Coop, v Attorney-General of State of N.Y., 127 AD2d 274, 280 [1987]). The information sought “bears a reasonable relationship to the subject matter under investigation and the public interest to be served” (American Dental Coop., 127 AD2d at 280).
