This state still manages to f*** over people even when they don't live in this state and
did nothing wrong...
A Central New York man is suing the state Department of Motor Vehicles after he was notified his driver’s license would be revoked this month due to a 1983 DUI conviction in Massachusetts.
Clifford R. White, 58, of Memphis, said in the lawsuit filed in state Supreme Court that no such conviction occurred. He said he has no memory of being charged or convicted of any motor vehicle infraction whatsoever in Massachusetts, according to the lawsuit.
White said in the lawsuit that he was told on April 11 his New York driver’s licenses would be revoked as of May 5 due to "a supposed conviction for driving under the influence” in Massachusetts on Sept. 20, 1983.
Since the lawsuit was filed, the court has issued a temporary injunction halting the revocation until the court hears the matter in August, said White’s lawyer, Kevin Roe. Roe, of Barclay Damon, said he can’t comment further on the case because it is pending litigation.
White did not return phone messages left at his business, C.R. White Tree and Landscape LLC, and a woman answering the phone said they had no comment.
The order revoking his license doesn’t include a copy of the traffic citation showing the final disposition of the case, or any abstract of the court record, or any proof of the conviction or the court it occurred in, the papers say. The lawsuit also says White wasn’t given any opportunity for a hearing before the revocation was to take effect.
White said in the lawsuit he has contacted both NYS DMV and Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles asking for proof of the conviction, but hasn’t received any.
