Cherry v. Koch
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION OF THE COURT
2Per curiam
In this case, the plaintiffs seek a judgment declaring *348Penal Law §§ 230.00 and 230.03 unconstitutional as applied to them insofar as those sections declare illegal private commercial sex between consenting adults. These statutes prohibit prostitution and the patronizing of prostitutes, respectively.

We hold that the plaintiffs have not presented a justiciable issue, and, therefore, we do not reach the issue of the statutes’ constitutionality.
