01-2-2187 Application of White for Renewal of a Casino Employee License , App. Div. (per curiam) (12 pp.) Theft of property is a disqualifying offense for licensure under the Casino Control Act. Here, applying the requisite deference, the record supports the Casino Control Commission’s determination, by a preponderance of the evidence, that appellant, whose indictment for that offense was dismissed after she successfully completed PTI, had committed acts that constituted the offense when she cashed the check not made out to her, made out by an organization with whom she had no connection, and delivered to the wrong address, and the denial of her application to renew her dealer’s license is affirmed. [Decided Nov. 18, 2008.]
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW — ROOMING AND BOARDING HOUSE ACT — PENALTIES
01-2-2188 Dept. of Community Affairs v. Morrison , App. Div. (per curiam) (8 pp.) The decision of the commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs, adopting the finding of the administrative law judge that appellant had violated the Rooming and Boarding House Act of 1979 by operating a rooming house without the requisite licenses is affirmed substantially for the reasons expressed by the commissioner. According deference to the commissioner’s discretion in determining the sanctions to be imposed, her decision not to accept the ALJ’s recommendation for a reduction in penalties because of appellant’s medical condition and financial circumstances is also affirmed. Her rejection of the reduced penalties, in the absence of appellant’s agreement to comply with the law, does not shock one’s sense of fairness. [Decided Nov. 18, 2008.]
