ADMINISTRATIVE LAW
01-2-7420 In re Proceedings Before the Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor, App. Div. (per curiam) (11 pp.) Leonard Moravek, a longshoreman, appealed the order issued by the Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor that revoked his registration as a checker, a longshoreman who inspects or performs a custodial accounting of waterborne freight or records or tabulates the number of hours stevedores or freight carriers’ employees work on the piers or other waterfront terminals. The panel affirmed, finding that the ALJ used the proper definitions of “association” and “inimical” and that there was no question that Moravek’s position as a checker was highly sensitive to corruption; Moravek owed money over a period of many months to Queli, whom Moravek knew or should have known was a soldier in the Genovese crime family and a convicted racketeer; and there was sufficient evidence that a reasonably objective observer could believe that Queli could have influenced Moravek in his role as a checker, making Moravek’s association with Queli inimical to the Waterfront Commission Act.
