168 Misc. 841 | N.Y. Sup. Ct. | 1938
The petitioner seeks an order from the court directing the Regents to indorse his Italian license to practice medicine by virtue of section 51 of the State Education Law.
Prior to this application, petitioner indicated to the Regents that he desired to take a State examination for license to practice medicine in the State of New York. No application for such examination was filed, however, and in November, 1937, this proceeding was commenced. The Regents denied the application “ because the evidence submitted in his case is not satisfyingly sufficient to warrant such indorsement, but that such denial shall be without prejudice to the right of the applicant to continue taking the medical licensing examinations.”
Petitioner maintains that the Board has the power to indorse his Italian medical license without examination and maintains that the Regents unjustly discriminated against him and that its decision is contrary to the Fourteenth Amendment.
The application is denied, without costs.
Submit order accordingly.
