Head Matter:
William Harvey, Petitioner, v Gail Shaffer, as Secre tary of State of the State of New York, Respondent.

Opinion:
Determination unanimously confirmed and petition dismissed without costs. Memorandum: The determination that petitioner, a real estate broker, engaged in a fraudulent practice (see, Real Property Law § 441-c [1]) is supported by substantial evidence. The record supports the finding of the Administrative Law Judge, adopted by the Secretary of State, that petitioner showed prospective buyers of a subdivision lot a plat map indicating that certain improvements would be provided by the developer when petitioner should reasonably have known that these amenities would not be provided.
