STATE COURT CASES
01-2-9827 I/M/O Lapinski, App. Div. (per curiam) (7 pp.) Appellant, a 29-year-old bail bondsman who resides in the Township of Weehawken, appeals from the order affirming the decision of the Chief of Police of the Township of Weehawken to deny his application for a firearms Purchaser Identification Card and a Permit to Purchase a Handgun. The trial court reached its decision without formally identifying or admitting the evidence it relied on in support of its findings and conclusion of law. The appellate panel thus reverses and remands this matter for the court to conduct a plenary hearing in which appellant will be afforded the opportunity to present evidence in support of his application and contest the evidence presented by the State in opposition thereto.
