In the Matter of PETER T. SCOTT, Respondent, against CLIFFORD J. FLETCHER, as Commissioner of Motor Vehicles of the State of New York, Appellant.

Petitioner-respondent was involved in an automobile accident and pleaded guilty to the crime of leaving the scene of the accident without reporting the same, in violation of subdivision 5-a of section 70 Veh. Traf. of the Vehicle and Traffic Law. His license to operate a motor vehicle was thereafter revoked. The sole issue involved in this proceeding is whether the magistrate, before whom the petitioner-respondent pleaded guilty, advised him that upon such a plea the revocation of his license to operate a motor vehicle was mandatory (Code Crim. Pro. § 335-a). The Special Term held that the magistrate did not so advise petitioner-respondent unequivocally and left the matter in some doubt, and for this reason annulled the determination by the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles. Order unanimously affirmed, with $25 dollars costs and disbursements to petitioner-respondent.
