MEMORANDUM
MERHIGE, District Judge.
Plaintiff has brought this action to forestall the State’s threatened revocation of his driver’s license on the basis of a record which includes one traffic conviction which the plaintiff claims to be constitutionally infirm. The plaintiff’s attack on the underlying traffic conviction is based on a lack of the assistance of counsel with respect thereto. Cf. Argersinger v. Hamlin, 407 U.S. 25, 92 S.Ct. 2006, 32 L.Ed.2d 530 (1972), establishing an accused’s right to counsel with respect to misdemeanor prosecutions, at least where imprisonment is involved.
