Amodei v. New York State Chiropractic Ass'n

Decision Date26 March 1991
Parties, 571 N.E.2d 70 In the Matter of Joseph AMODEI, Appellant, v. NEW YORK STATE CHIROPRACTIC ASSOCIATION, Respondent.
CourtNew York Court of Appeals Court of Appeals
OPINION OF THE COURT MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division, 160 A.D.2d 279, 553 N.Y.S.2d 713, should be affirmed, with costs.

Petitioner's contention that the New York State Chiropractic Association failed to administer its rules fairly when it suspended his membership for a period of two years is meritless. In imposing that sanction, the association, despite petitioner's assertions to the contrary, complied, in all material respects, with its constitution and bylaws (cf., Tedeschi v. Wagner Coll., 49 N.Y.2d 652, 427 N.Y.S.2d 760, 404 N.E.2d 1302). The procedural anomalies upon which petitioner's challenge rests do not provide, under the record before us, a sufficient basis for setting aside his suspension.

WACHTLER, C.J., and SIMONS, KAYE, ALEXANDER, TITONE and HANCOCK, JJ., concur.

BELLACOSA, J., taking no part.

Order affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum.
