Fronshtein v. Chandler

Order and judgment (one paper), Supreme Court, New York County (Kathryn E. Freed, J.), entered on or about August 5, 2016, which denied the petition seeking to invalidate respondents’ August 11, 2015, denial of petitioner’s application for a master electrician’s license and dismissed the proceeding brought pursuant to CPLR article 78, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
