New York Court of Appeals · decided 1987-02-10

Decided 1987-02-10

¶1OPINION OF THE COURT

¶2Memorandum.

¶3The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.

¶4In view of the fact that the petitioner was found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, as a result of which he is still receiving court-ordered psychiatric care, and the additional fact that the affidavit of his own psychiatrist is not sufficient to raise an issue of fact in support of his mental fitness to practice law, the Appellate Division did not abuse its discretion in denying the application without a hearing.

¶5Chief Judge Wachtler and Judges Simons, Kaye, Alexander, Titone, Hancock, Jr., and Bellacosa concur.

¶6Order affirmed, without costs, in a memorandum.
