State Liquor Authority decision modified following Article 78
Cris Place v. NY State Liquor Authority Appellate Division, First Dept 2008 NY Slip OP 09161
The SLA imposed a $1000 bond forfeiture and a $8,500 civil penalty against the Petiitoner after a hearing which found that marijuana use; after-hours drinking; violation of local laws and ordinances and cabaret activity took place at the accused premises. The First Department ruled that there was no substantial evidence to support the marijuana accusation but the other charges were backed by substantial evidence. The Court sent the case back the the SLA for reconsideration of the penalty. The decision can be found here: www.nycourts.gov/reporter/3dseries/2008/2008_09161.htm
