Matter of Greenberg v. Monaghan

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Nov 9, 1954
284 App. Div. 944 (N.Y. App. Div. 1954)

Opinion

November 9, 1954.

Present — Dore, J.P., Cohn, Breitel, Bastow and Botein, JJ.


The action of the police commissioner in denying petitioner's application for a taxicab license involved the exercise of a discretionary power. Upon the record before us, we cannot say that the decision of the department head in determining that petitioner was not a proper person to operate a taxicab was arbitrary or capricious; accordingly the determination should not have been disturbed. Order unanimously reversed, with $20 costs and disbursements to the appellant, the petition dismissed and the application denied.
