Head Matter:
In the Matter of Carroll K. Davis, Appellant, v. W. Kingsbury et al., Constituting the Medical Appeals Unit of the Workmen’s Compensation Board of the State of New York, et al., Respondents.
Submitted April 16, 1970;
decided May 28, 1970.
Henry Mark Holzer for appellant.
Louis J. Lefkowitz, Attorney-General (Amy Juviler and Samuel A. Hirshowitz of counsel), for respondents.

Opinion:
Memorandum. We affirm for the reasons stated in the opinion at the Appellate Division. As that court concluded, ' ' the essential similarity of the proof offered on both hearings made the second a mere request for a rehearing." Accordingly, the denial of the petitioner's second application, in 1966, did not commence anew the four-month period within which review of the respondents' determination—originally rendered in April, 1965—could be sought.
