Commonwealth v. Irvin
Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas, Centre County
1Opinion of the Court
CAMPBELL, P. J.,

Defendant bottoms his appeal solely on the grounds that the Secretary has no right to revoke his license without an administrative hearing and cites as his authority: Reese v. Kassab, 334 F. Supp. 744 (1971), and Bell v. Burson, 402 U.S. 535, 91 S.Ct. 1586, 29 L.Ed. 2d 90 (1971).
