New York, NY asked in Appeals / Appellate Law and Traffic Tickets for New York

Q: I lost my appeal for a traffic ticket violation that suspended my license, anything else I can do?

Hi, I tried to appeal a traffic ticket violation online that caused my drivers license to be suspended, I was able to get a stay on my license while waiting for a decision from the appeals board, unfortunately I just received the letter from the appeals board stating that the conviction will remain on my record and that any further appeals should be made with the supreme court. The Letter stated that the license suspension will be reinstated. Is there anything else I can do to keep that from happening? would it help to take it to the supreme court? thank you in advance

A: You would need to take it up in the Supreme Court and there is a very difficult review standard to overturn an agency such as the DMV, you'd have to show bias or manifest error.
