Opinion of the Court

Determination of the Director of respondent’s License Division, dated May 8, 2002, which, after a hearing, revoked petitioner’s “business license” to carry a pistol, unanimously confirmed, the petition denied and the proceeding (transferred to this Court by order of the Supreme Court, New York County [Shirley Werner Kornreich, J.], entered April 14, 2003) dismissed, without costs.
