In the Matter of LEONARD BENINSON, Petitioner, v. POLICE DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK et al., Respondents.

On January 18, 1990, the petitioner's pistol license was revoked following a hearing. That determination was based upon evidence stemming from two arrests, as to which the charges were dismissed, as well as a reported traffic incident. Both the Hearing Officer and Police Commissioner stated that, because the petitioner displayed the firearm twice and became physically involved in at least one altercation, the petitioner's actions created doubt as to his ability to be entrusted with possession of the firearm. Contrary to petitioner's arguments, the evidence adduced was adequate to support the respondent Commissioner's determination. (Matter of Harris v. Codd, 57 A.D.2d 778, affd 44 N.Y.2d 978.)

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Rosenberger, Wallach, Kupferman and Rubin, JJ.
