In the Matter of Arnold J. White, Doing Business as White’s Lounge, Petitioner, v State Liquor Authority, Respondent.

Determination insofar as it imposes a bond forfeiture of $1,000 unanimously reduced to $500 and otherwise determination confirmed, without costs. Memorandum: We find that the imposition of a 10-day suspension and a $1,000 bond forfeiture constitutes an excessive penalty under the circumstances, and accordingly we reduce it to a 10-day suspension and a $500 bond forfeiture.
