In the Matter of LEE ZINMAN, Petitioner, v. GORDON AMBACH, as Commissioner of Education of the State of New York, et al., Respondents.

Proceeding initiated in this court pursuant to subdivision 4 of section 6510 Educ. of the Education Law to annul a determination of the Commissioner of Education suspending petitioner's license to practice podiatry. The petitioner alleges in his brief as follows: "Petitioner does not dispute that he was convicted of a crime within the meaning of Section 6509(5)(b) of the Education Law nor that his admission of having committed the acts constituting such crime represents unprofessional conduct within the meaning of Section 6509(9) of the Education Law. However, Petitioner contends that the measure of discipline imposed by the Commissioner is so shocking to one's sense of justice as to warrant this Court annulling the Commissioner's judgment." The record does not establish that the discipline imposed was unwarranted (see Matter of Gliwa v Board of Regents, 58 A.D.2d 721, mot for lv to app den 43 N.Y.2d 644) and, accordingly, this court may not interfere with the punishment (Matter of Pell v Board of Educ., 34 N.Y.2d 222). Determination confirmed, and petition dismissed, without costs. Sweeney, J.P., Kane, Mahoney, Larkin and Herlihy, JJ., concur.
