Adjudged that the determination is confirmed, and the proceeding is dismissed on the merits, without costs or disbursements.
The petitioner admitted at the hearing that he had been arrested four times between 1979 and the end of 1984 for offenses such as assault and disorderly conduct. We, therefore, conclude that the respondent had good cause to deny the petitioner's application for a pistol permit (see, Matter of Fromson v Nelson, 178 A.D.2d 479). Mangano, P.J., O'Brien, Ritter, Pizzuto and Florio, JJ., concur.
